Differences between 67 doors and others - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FL71C10 · 03-05-2012, 04:22 PM

I found a set of doors for a 67 GMC truck that I'd like to put on my 71. I understand that the 67 door handles are different, but am not sure how they are different. Are the doors interchangeable, and the handles are different, or are the 67 doors only usable on a 67?

Thanks!

I am posting a picture of the doors from the guy's craigslist ad so you can see what I am looking at buying.

The angle for the bolt hole is different for a 67. A 67 door also has an extra plate welded inside the door where the handle mounts. I am not sure how a 68-72 dandle will mount to a 67 door. Also 67 doors have a round access hole for the bolts that attach the handle, where 68-72 have a tear shaped hole for the angle difference.

so would a 67 door bolt right onto a 71 truck?

Yes, the doors will bolt on. We just put a set of '67 doors on a '72.
