Did The Toolbox In Bed Come In Only 71,72 And How Rare In A 72. Any Numbers. Thanks,buddy

GM72K10 · 01-27-2006, 07:14 AM

Came in 70,71,72. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also came in 73,74,75. How rare? Question is, how many survived? Door is very prone to rust out.

**special-K** · 01-27-2006, 08:25 AM

Yeah,even on otherwise rustfree trucks.They are uncommon,for sure.

Longhorn Man · 01-28-2006, 07:32 AM

and when they rust off, it makes your truck look like crap. (I got a huge hole in the side of mine)

**special-K** · 01-28-2006, 09:50 AM

You got the gaping hole option?

Most old trucks in Ohio do.

Longhorn Man · 01-28-2006, 08:04 PM

Mine's not an ohio truck, and is one of the least rusted original trucks in town...
with that being said, mine is STILL a rust bucket.

Gaping hole option.... LOL!

jku72 · 01-29-2006, 02:22 PM

Even mine is a bit rusty, and a good door is $300.

Longhorn Man · 01-29-2006, 09:50 PM

$300 for a rust free dore is a steal. I've seen them go for more than twice that.

just think of the rusted hole as a stage 3 weight reduction that was a factory option.....that reduction helps alot on them ET at the drags i tell ya ....thats what i tell everyone when they look at pics on local racing forums

Huskerfan_12 · 03-09-2006, 06:21 PM

Does anyone know of a website that has alot of the door parts for sale?

davidh · 03-09-2006, 06:27 PM

I had a guy trying to sell me a 3/4 69 and the bed was clean but it had that door. I didn't buy it because of it. I thought of ways to weld it shut or fill it in from a donor bed side.

shifty · 03-09-2006, 06:43 PM

if the door was in good shape, you probably coulda sold it for the same price you paid for the bed.

mblackburnjr · 03-09-2006, 07:06 PM

I had a 73 with the door. It seemed to have alot of 72 carryovers on it. I wonder if the 73 door is interchangeable with a 72. They sure look alike. Maybe an option for a donor!

**special-K** · 03-09-2006, 09:57 PM

They aren`t interchangeable.Well,at least,they have a different contour and leaves a gap when installing a`73 on a`72.I bought a`72 truck with a`73-up door on it,It opened and closed fine.

re1 · 03-09-2006, 10:09 PM

My door is in good shape but the hinges are bad .
I'll have to keep my eyes open for some decent hinges.

NO vendor reproduces those?

1967k30 · 03-10-2006, 12:35 AM

I had a 72' K20 with a toolbox but the truck was so shot I scrapped it.I wish I hadn't of now.It didn't have the box or the door.Just the hole in the bedside where it had been.I know a place that has a good complete bedside with toolbox.They want like $1000 for it.

There was a set of nos hinges on ebay a while back, they went for $81

Longhorn Man · 03-10-2006, 03:39 PM

a vendor used to repro the door, but so few trucks came with them that they didn't sell...which ment the price was stupid expensive...which made sales that much more difficult.
