Door dilemma
LYou east coast guys are going to be hating me for even posting this in sure...(I'm from the east coast so I can relate at heart
![]() Pics of each set incoming! ![]() The orange is an example of the 72's the passenger side is mostly identical The ochre are the 71's. There's a very small amount of mud in the bottom of one but it's a small dent.no rust thru.

Re: Door dilemma
What kind of build are you doing? Stock or near stock obviously negates the use of anything other than year correct parts.
Custom, well that's a different story. The lines of a 67-71 are clean inside, then in 72 they added that countersunk screw, that I feel degrades the appearance. Obviously for added support, but I just don't get it. ![]() |

As far as my build goes I had originally planned a mostly stock year/spid correct build with a few minor additions like truck tilt,tach,stowage box bed and front hooks. That's kinda why I'm hung up on it I suppose. I will use my olive 72 door panels regardless, so that's not a concern. As for the panels I saw on here a while back where somebody used 72's on a 71 and swapped the door/window controls and such from a 72 to the 71 doors. Seemed like it was fairly simple and only had to drill a few holes for the clips from the 72 panels. Any other opinions?

I've also contemplated something that may be a bit sinful but, I was thinking I may just cut the vent window screw hole out of the Orange doors and weld them into the ochre doors. It would take minimal body work to do it and I could have the best of both worlds. I could then swap the 67-71 style vent window area to the 72 doors. All just thoughts at this point. I'm kinda leaning on the 67-71 although I really did want to keep it 72 correct. It's just less money,time and work in the long run.

Re: Door dilemma
Use the correct year doors and do the additional repairs to make them great. I'm sure you'll find a cab to match those nice doors if you patiently wait.
How can you tell the difference between 67-71 doors and 72 doors? Bill |

Re: Door dilemma
IMO the less work you have to put into something the better, make it easy on yourself.

Re: Door dilemma
72 doors have a small screw hole just below the vent window to hold the inner and outer skins together. Other than that they are more or less the same. I believe 67 is slightly different as well to accommodate a different exterior handle but don't quote me on it. The door and window controls are also different for 72 to allow the use the plastic panels.
