Pete- It's a 72 but I'll probably put 71 door panels in it because I like the scroll AND wood look instead of the either/or of the 72 panels, especially with saddle. It will be a work truck and I think the vinyl will be easier to keep clean than the textured surface of the 72 panels. I know I'll have a gap behind the door handles and window cranks, but I thought I'd fill that with a wood disc stained to match the wood strip on the panels. It will look good or like crap. We'll see. Before I went and did this I wanted to verify the various saddles available and at least in my mind, get straight what was original and how that compared with what's out there in the repro market. I still think 72 only had a dark saddle and I'm not really sure if its reproduced despite what the various catalogs list it as. I think all the saddles that are reproduced now are the lighter saddle that was used in all previous years and in the repro world is now used for 72 also. Looking for confirmation or rejection of this theory.

Now the real question is: are you really trying to help me by showing me your Blazer, or are you trying to shame me so I set mine on fire and give up because it will never be that nice? Once you left NM for MT with your Orange K20 I was finally able to take mine out of the shop and drive it around with only minor embarrassment. Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean you're not out to get me.
