Re: No Way This Is Stock
Would it be possible to add a screw (pre-'72) straight down thru the tabs instead of welding them? Or is it just as likely that one or the other has broken off the door instead of each other where they overlap? I'm sure I'll need to fix mine at some point soon.

Re: No Way This Is Stock
Speaking from the experience I gained from the 3 doors on my Burban. Yes, if the spot welds had failed you could do that. However on mine, none of the spot welds had failed, the metal had cracked along the 90 degree bends. Basically the metal flexes at that point and over time it work hardens and then cracks.

If you look at the 69 71 blazers they have factory pieces that cab be used on the trucks to support the doors. This is what they look like. The screw goes in the same spot as the 72 doors. This tightens the gap a bit.
