They are actually made by Apex and will come in a box with Key Parts on it NOT TRI PLUS. Suppliers like Top Banana, Classic Heartbeat, Chevy Metal and many more. The main thing you must tell them you want the new tooling doors.

They are supposed to be same gauge as original and have the top hoop (window channel surround) fixed that has always been a problem in the past with aftermarket doors.

Can you explain what the top hoop (window channel surround) is and what it does or is for? Thanks for the info.

Sorry I forgot I was posting in the Blazer forum so it's a non-issue since the window channel/frame is cut off for the Blazers.

But what I was talking about for the pickups is that the door window frame (at the top) did not match the curvature and contour of the cab in the previous repops. So some guys were cutting the top window frame off and welding it to the reproduction doors so that the cab to door gaps lined up better around the top.
