Interior door molding??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 72' and need to replace my interior door plastic molding. Question is: Can I use the molding from a 67'/68'??? Do the holes line up ok???

Thanks
Alex

Yes the holes will line up for the panels but the regulator and door latch are specific to the 72 model.
They are longer to clear the thickness of the 72 door panels.
If you want to use the earlier panels and want it to look right you will need to switch out these two items also.
Check your parts catalog and you will notice that the 72 regulator and latch are 72 only and all others are the same.

Have fun

Thanks Hutch! New window regulators and door openers! I do see the 72's are longer to go through the 72' style molding.
