Door questions

[xrcr]

Anybody tell me the difference between a 73-76 door and a 77-91. I have an 84 cab to replace the rust bucket 76. I have a passenger side 76 door and I have the guts and glass from both 76 and 79. Do I now have an "extra" 76 door and need 2-doors for the 84. Will the innards from the 79 work in an 84 door. Any Help is greatly appreciated.

1973 - 1976 Door's have different in side handle shorter trim panel that screws do not line up with most of the holes of the 1977-91.
The 1973 - 1976 never had power window's so the knock out steel plate is not there. And there is a few other bolt & screw hole that do not line up. But the door is all most none changed from the out side from 1973 -1991 . The 1977 first year for power window and locks so the knock out plate for the wiring is there unless the door had power wiring. The panels are almost the same size & shape just two holes do not line up and different inside door handles from 1977-1980. So if you 1977-1980 inner door handles you can't use 1981-1991 panels.
For 1981- 1991 the door handles different from other and bolt up different

The doors 1973 - 1980 had different molding options. So there will bee a few extra holes on the out side ends and or studs the center of the molding where stuck on to a two way tape clip that snapped in to the molding. So if you have 1973-76 you have to grind studs off and fill in the extra holes. then you have to use the 1973-76 inner door handles & panels to be easier to be a bolt on.
1978 -1980 door with out any out side trim would be easier use on the 1981-1987 and modify .

The easy would be 1981-1987 and old style body 1991 Blazer/Jimmy, Surburban door to use on the 1977-1987 they have all the holes for the inner door handle door panel from the third Gen but if you have the older trim option you will have to add stud's and a few holes for the trim if you want it on still. So modding will have to done at that point.
The 1981- 1987 doors had option molding, all held on buy two way tape not like the first gen doors.

Second, thanks for the information. I have the 76 and 79 inside panels so I'm good. I'm not using any trim or moldings.

Your 76 window crank shaft will not be long enough, and you won't be able to put the crank on unless you shove the 79 door panel in...it will look terrible and scratch the hell out of the door panel.

I get it 76 guts with 76 panel or 79 guts with 79 panel. No interchanging.
Thanks for the heads up.
