Re: Are the Door Panels the same??

'72 door panels are the same size length and height but differ in depth. In '72 the General went to a plastic sculpted or contoured panel which necessitates use of a deeper or longer window crank mechanisim. Also uses a '72 only arm rest that will not inter-change with previous years.

Also there is a differance in '72 only doors. They will have a factory drilled or punched hole just below the vent window. Uses a screw to better support the vent window channel.
