Are all doors universal? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need doors and latches, and a tailgate for my '71 GMC. I am looking around for parts trucks and hope to find a '71-'72, but I need to know if all '67-'72 doors will be compatible. Thanks

There are a few small changes in the 72 doors to strengthen them so some of the guts are different and there is a visible screw just below the bottom of wingglass. But the doors will bolt up and fit the same from the outside.

All doors will bolt up. The 72 are the most desireable as they have the reinforcement screw for the vent windows. You are in luck. I see these ALL the time at the pick n pulls here.
