Door hole spinoff question.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 70 has a hole just below the vent window on both the driver and passenger doors. Was this for a knob operated option on the wing windows? I isn't just drilled, it is stamped into the metal so the hole is countersunk. I haven't ever noticed it in pics of other doors.

do you have a photo? It sounds like you have doors off a 72

Sorry no pics handy and it is pouring rain right now. They could be doors from another truck. There seems to be a ton of parts from other trucks on here. LOL

Axle, tailgate, maybe doors, who knows what else.

You have 72 doors. A re-enforcement screw was used to sandwich the vent windows in tighter.

This is a picture of that screw ferrule

That's the EXACT spot I was wondering about. LOL

I learn something new about this rig every day it seems.

I think you have 72 doors...

I'd like to get the stuff to in the hole thats factory.

**KSCHEVYUP** · 10-25-2009, 03:24 PM

Do any of the vendors on here sell the right screw and ferrule for this application?

**Thealien** · 10-25-2009, 05:10 PM

I have not found any reproductions made from any vendors (not saying there may not be some?). If you were a subscribing member you could post a want to buy thread and I am sure one of the board members who has parts has some. That is where I got mine, and that picture. I had to buy some after my body guy lost mine and tried putting just a screw in and it kept pulling through!

Has anyone run across these screws and ferrule yet? I in bad need of them also.
