How many have replaced the entire door skins? I was just wondering how well they were made and how well they fit. Are there any vendors here who sell them? And about how much are they?

I'm curious to know also..my k1500 has a door skin extra for it and I am curious if it's worth the hassle to put on,or just put on a better original door..

i did skins on my 72 a few years ago, at the time they were like 70 bucks, they fit good are easy to do, ( you can pretty much put them where ever you want them for the best gaps)havent had any problems..........the only thing that sucks now is that i the shells are rotting, so i will be buying new doors this time around, if you need any tips for removing or installing let me know, tool wise youll need a good 5 inch grinder, a good body hammer and a small straight piece of wood or a rubber dolly.......hope this helps

It`s the way to go,rather than trash good factory doors with rusted corners.The work in doing them is ofeset by not having to strip-out your doors and load the repops which may not fit as well as oem.
All the vendors sell all the repair pieces.
