71/72 only? door brace plastic pcs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I thought these were a '72 only thing, but these came from an original '71 blazer door? Small plastic trim pcs. near the wing window for inner/outer door skin support. Hard to find. $ 22 shipped, only one screw

I'd like to take first dibs on these. BUT, I am under the impression they are a '69-'70 item. Of course trying to verify now I came up only with a clear pic on a '70 showing these, all the '71-'72 pics I can't tell. I think in '71-'72 their was a dimple that the screw sat in and therefore these weren't required/used. I could be wrong though, my Jimmy of course doesn't have the original screws etc, modified by the PO on the driver side and the pass side is a truck door without the screw.

Could you cross post on the Blazer/Jimmy board to get confirmation either way? If they are '69-'70 only, I can't use them, but I think it will make them more valuable for you sell.

Thanks

I have them on my 70 Blazer. When I changed out doors screws were trash, but managed to get exact replacements screws at local hardware.

My 71 Jimmy, and My 72 Blazer both have them

My 71 Blazer has them.. the 72's usually just have the dimple in the doors.

My 70 Jimmy has them and my 72 pickup has the screws recessed into the dimples on the doors. Both trucks are original.

Ok, thanks guys, that's enough confirmation for me.

I WILL take them. Please send payment info, either here or PM.

I can do Paypal, MO, P check, pennies.......what ever is easiest.

Thanks
