New Aftermarket Doors
I am looking for feedback on aftermarket replacement doors for our trucks. I have heard about fit issues in the past. For those of you who have used them what has your experience been? How is quality compared to the original? What vendor(s) have you purchased from? I am going to be getting paint work done on my 72 c30 yet this winter, and doors may be the only issue. Fenders, rockers and conners are good. The truck was done once in the past. I would prefer to find clean original doors, but my location kind of hinders that. New doors seem to be more readily shipped and may be a viable option. Plan is we are going to dive into this and see what we have first. The inner bottoms look questionable, as the previous body work was not the best in those areas. I'm trying to do a little pre planning so if we decide it would be best to not repair my doors I can proceed accordingly.

Re: New Aftermarket Doors
I stock the doors that Key Parts has now that are the better fitting, heavier doors from Apex. Let me know if I can help you. I am just next door in Indiana.

Re: New Aftermarket Doors
Thanks for the replies! It sounds as if the poor fit issues have been addressed. This may very likely be the direction we go, as a lot of time and money can be spent to fix the originals which could be spent to start new.

Fine69 (Mike) is from Urbana, we went out there 2 or 3 years ago, he had a few sets of good original doors, you should PM him, maybe he still has some.

Re: New Aftermarket Doors
I've got aftermarket doors (I don't know what kind) but my original glass won't fit! On both doors the glass won't go all the way to the top. It's like the glass is too wide. But, the doors fit the old cab perfect!
Anybody got any solutions? |
