Interior door panels. Question? Show me your 1971door panel. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am new to Chevy. I bought a 1971 chevy that someone had started to restore years ago and then it just sat in a garage for 12 years.
Anyhoo, I will post a pic of door panel. Can someone tell me what year it's from? I want to put correct year in is possible. Post yourpic too.
I'm thinking of doing something different with colors on it.
Thanks in advance.

Think the seats, console, and belts are out of 93 chevy truck. The seats are really comfortable. Going to recover them in black and white.

Keep in mind if you put the correct door panels on you will have to change the window regulators and inside door handle relays also will need the upper door panel retainers. !!!!Nice truck !!!!

LMC door panel on a '71 door in a '68 cab.

Just after I got 'em in, a friend got me a present. Electric window kit from ECE.

Oh, Boy. Next pic of the door will have a switch in the place of the window "winder".

Thanks guys for the responce and pics. I am leaning toward the 71s.I will have to paint the ones I have if want to keep them. Also redo the vinyl in the ones I have. What to do LOL. I will post pics whatever I decide.
Lovin the Chevy.

I have those seats in my '92 and you're right...probably the most comfortable seats I've sat in. I like the gray and everything as it is. But,"it's your thing,do whatchu wanna do. I can't tell ya,who to sock it too" (old soul song from when these trucks were new

). The '70 and '71 vinyl panels are the same. And,as Tim said,the '72 panels required using the longer control shafts,so you'll want the shorter 67-71 pieces. A little more work than just switching panels.
