Are the doors the same? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

osaltyone · 08-25-2009, 01:37 AM

I came across tons of bondo on my driver and my pass door is jacked. I don't want to mess with the bondo or the huge dents on them, and found 2 new doors from an 80 quad cab dually. The front doors look like they would fit my 84, but I wanted to be sure b4 I drove 70 miles to buy them. Can anyone confirm?

yes they will work, to use your 84 door panels you'll need to swap the interior door panels

and interior door handles too.

Thanks! I planned on keeping my panels.

flamingbig10 · 08-25-2009, 10:18 AM

I meant door handles

osaltyone · 09-03-2009, 02:12 PM

ok, just want to make sure, but are the doors and fenders on the 73-87 suburban the same as the 84 trucks? I think they are with the exception of the placement of the marker light on the fender, but want to confirm.

Jonboy · 09-03-2009, 03:08 PM

81-up fenders are the same.

osaltyone · 09-03-2009, 05:27 PM

That is what I thought, but wanted someone else to confirm before I purchased them. Wish the PO did not cover the panels completely with filler...

There was a guy up here in the Desert ( Hesperia area ) selling a set of blazer doors.

They where on craigslist under the inland empire area.

I will check to see If I can find them..

Just some I found cruising around CL...

Not too sure on the year of these...

This guy is right around the corner from me...I bought some interior stuff from him.

Whole clip and doors.

nice, I have been talking with the guy with the work truck bed, but found a set of suburban doors near my work in OC that are power like mine. I don't want to mess with swapping the insides if I don't have to. Wish I would have saw that clip b4 I bought my passengers stuff last weekend. When done, I wil have replaced everything except for the cab...

Nice ride! What air system are you runnin? I am working on that too, need to get a tank and get everything wired up, just on scraders now.

hessian18 · 09-03-2009, 06:54 PM

Ahahahah thats a photo chop from one of the board members..

My plan is to drop is 4/6 static for now. Along with some 17x9 cragars with some sticky rubber.

Thanks

osaltyone · 09-04-2009, 02:33 AM

Nice! I think the 4/6 was what was on mine b4 I tore it out and replaced with bags. It was a bit stiff for me, so hopefully the bags ride smoother.

hessian18 · 09-04-2009, 11:12 AM

Any pics of your rig ?

As of now I have the 3'' spindle, and a flip kits coming...When I get that installed I will see about the additional drop to the front via coils and shackles out back.

Here is a pic of it a few weeks ago. I still have to replace all the panels and finish the bag setup, but it is coming along. It is not my daily, so I can take my time
