Just learning - Need help please - 71 doors vs. 73 doors

I am fairly new to this forum and appreciate its existence. It has helped me tremendously. My question is:
Will a 1973-87 c10 door fit my 1971 c10? What is the difference please?
Thanks,
Doug

No. 67-72 and 73-87 are completely different body styles.

Welcome aboard...

1973 was the body style change in GM trucks. So they aren't even close to fitting in a 1972 and earlier truck.
