Installing 72 door panels in a 70

My 72 parts truck had a decent set of door panels so I decided to put them in my 70 GMC build (after reworking them). Of course I had to use 71-72 regulators etc. because of the longer shafts.
The 72 panels are held on by push-on type fasteners and a screw half way up the lock side, nothing like the 70 panel..so I had to drill some holes.

I used blue painter's tape to mark the hole locations on the 72 door, then transfered the tape to the 70 door, simple. Well, the top was simple but not the bottom, the holes fell right on the weld nuts so I had to drill them out too.
The holes needed to be a bit bigger than the bit I had so I had to waller them out some, a little at a time so they wern't to big (or I would be screwed). I used the vacuum line spacer trick so I didn't dimple the outside door skin. The armrest holes lined up perfect so all I had to do to finish up was drill the little exposed screw hole and I was done.

Piece of cake.
