Cheyenne Door Panels: 1972 (poor quality?) v 71 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I noticed that the 1971 door panels are metal wrapped with a really nice scrolled vinyl facing. The 72 are molded ABS plastic which require an insert to look nice, IMO. I think that Chevy was trying to get away from a Cowboy/western look and trying to be more "refined".

Several of the online catalogs (GMC Pauls, Manes) won't sell the reproduced 1972 panels, b/c of the poor quality. Is it acceptable to use the 1971s in a 1972 Cheyenne? Will they fit?
