71-72 door question
I know 72 vent windows were now secured with a single screw on the inside of the door, thus differentiating it from the 1971 model year. I have some doors from either a 70 or 71. Would I be better of fixing the rust on my 72s or can I still use the other set?

Re: 71-72 door question
It's up to you. If you use the 70-71 doors you will have to drill holes for the 72 door panel mounting clips. No big deal, just needs to be done. WES

Re: 71-72 door question
aren't the lengths of the window crank and door handle shafts different (i.e. to clear the increased depth of the 72 door panels)? I'm not certain about that - but am sure someone can confirm or not. Thought worth mentioning.

Re: 71-72 door question
Yes they are longer but I was mainly concerned about the extra screw

Re: 71-72 door question
If your truck is a 72 and you want to stay with the correct door panels you can use the 70-71 doors and change out the door and window regulators.
Hope that helps Paul

Re: 71-72 door question
You would just need to swap the window regulator and the door latch remote from the 67-71 short shaft style to the 72 long shaft. WES
