72 door panels on a 71 door..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I like the look of the 72 door panels more than the 71 door panels....

Simple swap and screw or are there size differences?

Thanks in advance.

You wont be able to crank down the window unless you get the inner window mechanisms too. The 72's stick out further to get past the plastic

Like CG already stated above on the window regs, same goes for the the door latch relays-the splined part that sticks thru the panel is longer on the 72's, also the 72 panels are held on mainly by plastic push in type clips and only one screw at the rear of the panel.

Better off with 72 doors then?
