Thanks

72

skokie · 11-14-2004, 03:51 AM

Thanks Brainchild. I thought they were. They were on the truck when I got it. Gotta ove previous owners. I didnt think that 72 door panels could go on 71 or lower.

you probably have 72 doors.

Paul72 · 11-14-2004, 10:28 AM

They would be '72 doors if there is a screw by the base of the wing window (only year they did this).

Heres a pic of the door.

68w/sbc406 · 11-14-2004, 01:29 PM

thats not a 72 door. i think that you can put a 72 regulator in a 67-72 door and then the 72 panel fits

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-14-2004, 01:41 PM

68 W you are correct..

Longhorn Man · 11-14-2004, 03:28 PM

Yup, just seems more likely that the door woulda been swapped out than some one taking the time to install a different regulator to install the incorrect (and fugly IMO) door panels.

skokie · 11-14-2004, 05:18 PM

How can you tell that its not a 72 door? Any pics of a 72 door that I can compare to?

Thanks

Brainchild · 11-14-2004, 05:34 PM

There is a screw right under the wing on the inside of the door on the 72's.Also the regulator stem is a little longer to compensate to the plastic door panels.
All this will swap into 67-71 doors though,you may have to drill holes for th plastic clips on the 72 door panels.
Dad has a 72 with an earlier door on it,and all the 72 gear in it so I know it can be done.

I agree,the plastic panels are fugly IMO.

No need to change out the interior parts...a good push on the handles to compress things abit and they fit 71 and down too.

Been there, done that

ok, well the right way is to change the parts out

vtblazer · 11-14-2004, 06:20 PM

Absolutly correct.

Back when I first got into these trucks, the previous owner had done that and I always wondered way it was such a pain to get the handles on.
