What do you look for to tell if its a Blazer or truck door? spot welds?

K5s for 70-72 had reinforcement plates around the door latches. Sort of a corner shot of one here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...06&postcount=6

69s didn’t have these reinforcements. I can’t recall if 69s had the screw under the vent window or not.

I don’t see the Blazer for sale having a reinforcement plate. I suspect it’s an aftermarket door. It won’t detract from the ride obviously but noteworthy imo for valuation.

It could also be a cut down truck door that they didn’t install a reinforcement plate on. I have an NOS drivers truck door that I intend to cut down for my blazer and install the reinforcement plate. From what I’ve read they didn’t make a separate door for the Blazers they actually cut truck doors for the Blazers and it is shown that way in the assembly manual but I could be wrong.

Could be. I think that’s exactly what GM did. There’s some factory literature on cutting down the pickup door.

That linked photo above is from a longer thread on cutting a truck door down: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...06#post2526006

69s do not have the screw.
