Its the upper door on a Suburban. Ive heard the 67-72 supports are different. I contacted Atwood Industries back in the mid 90's and the original style supports havent been made since 1971. If yours still work, take them off, clean them good and put some oil on them. That's all I do with mine and they still work fine.
