Aftermarket Doors?

I was wondering what the quality of aftermarket doors are like. I have been told that they aren't so good by one person so far, but i would like a few opinions from you guys.

Re: Aftermarket Doors?

I just replaced both doors on a 68 shortbed, Goodmark doors. Seem to be good quality but they do not fit exactly. Had to have them shaved just a little to make perfect. A body guy here in my town did work for cheap because I ordered the doors from him. I am well satisfied. Mike

What was wrong with the way they fit. Would it be a lot of work to do myself.

Re: Aftermarket Doors?

I know the window regulators have a hard time fitting in aftermarket doors.

Re: Aftermarket Doors?

I had to bend the window channels out to make them fit. Some people have had to cut the weld that's in the angled corner of the door, shorten it a hair, and reweld it. I din't have to on mine. I had no problems at all putting the window regulators in, holes matched up exactly.

I'm happy with mine
