Re: YearOne doors
Most of the metal comes from just a few placec. I have not tried doors from all of them but it is my understanding NONE of them are a perfect or even close fit without quite a bit of work. I would figure a way to try a set before paying to ship them!!!

Re: YearOne doors
I need doors too but I dont really want to use reproductions as I saw what one body shop had to deal with to make them work .

Re: YearOne doors
Find used originals if you can. It's worth the effort.

Re: YearOne doors
doors can be a crap shoot no matter how you go about it.
i bought a nice orginal that would not fit the opening in my truck, and i have bought a repro that if you leaned on the window opening it would bend in the hinge area enough to make the door overlap the opening at the back. so what i am saying is, buy one and check it out, if your not happy with the way it turns out send it back, but make sure the seller understands the problem completely. that way you can help the manufacturers get better at this stuff, not only for your benefit, but for others who need these parts in the future. best of luck to you.

Re: YearOne doors
I would find a set of original doors and spend your time making them cherry! you will be way ahead time wise and the doors will fit! Just make sure the doors you do get are not bent@ the hinge mounting area (like they were opened to far) cheers, Pat

Re: YearOne doors
I blew over $750 on after market doors that didn't fit worth a damn. I tossed them and found some used original doors. They fit like a glove! Don't make the same mistake.

Re: YearOne doors
When the aftermarket suppliers of sheet metal tell you up-front that there will be some blemishes and so forth....I appreciate the heads-up but gotta question their quality control. Shipping is one thing. Poor quality is a whole 'nother thing.
