NOS gm rear barn doors- will these fit?

I got these doors, really nice NOS doors. The gm stickers come back as 84-91 doors for the suburban.

I have a 1973 that's in a different location then the doors so I cant compare.

Can/will these doors fit the 1973 suburban? Its my first suburban and dont know too much about the interchangeability. I make to make sure that they wont work before I sell them.

Thanks for the help in advance.

I believe only the trim changed but am curious to see what the book says.

Re: NOS gm rear barn doors- will these fit?

okay well I was looking for answers but only got more questions
Disclaimer (I know very little about square bodies and what years could come with what)

My catalog says this (some part numbers could be old and the book I have was published in 1977)

73-74 CK-1,2 14006143 LH
73-74 CK-1,2 14027390 RH
75-77 CK-1,2 14027389 LH
75-77 CK-1,2 14027390 RH

So from what I see they are not a correct part as even these years had differences to GM. BUT will it fit? Maybe? sorry I tried guys

Re: NOS gm rear barn doors- will these fit?

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Maybe the difference is glass shape or trim like Timber said?

Re: NOS gm rear barn doors- will these fit?

How far away is the truck? Would the NOS doors fetch a premium above what driver-quality doors go for, enough to be worth the trouble to market and sell them?

Truck is an hour away. I have no idea what there value is. I do know that I prefer GM steel and would love to use them if possible.

Just a quick look at this, it looks like the latch is the only thing that changed.

Re: NOS gm rear barn doors- will these fit?

I first went to the LMC catalog as well but still wanted to dig deeper my thought on it is holes vs stick on weatherstrip or trim holes could have changed through the years

Re: NOS gm rear barn doors- will these fit?

Im not really concerned about trim etc. Wondering if latches, hardware and glass will swap over?

Think it will?

Looking at LMC window gaskets and glass appear to be the same 73-91

It looks like the latch mechanism changed but the striker did not. Makes me think they'd work.
