guess its time for me to give up on nos doors or near perfect used ones, so who makes the best repop? thanks

No one has a preference ?

I have used several tri plus pieces and really liked them. I have not used one of their doors, but I used a complete floor pan and it fit very well.

They will give you the honest truth about what fits as far as repro doors. I think I remember reading something recently where one of the major companies re-tooled and are now putting out a better door.

We are receiving our first shipment of parts for our new location in Dandridge, TN next week. If you want to stop by and look at some of the new doors and see how well they fit on an actual truck your more than welcome to stop by or give us a call at the new shop 865-940-1466

Thanks,
DeWayne

I would accept Dewayne's offer, if it doesn't fit give him a moment with him staring the door down one on one and it will fit like butter!

Hey Wreckedchevy,

I saw that you know a guy that has original truck doors - do you know if he has original door hinges for sale as well? I am in the market for 2 for the drivers door of my 72. Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

if i had my time back i would have looked for original doors i got repos and had a bit%h of a time getting them right

I took my original doors and had the outer skin taken off and a new repro skin welded back on. I thought my doors were in good shape. I don't think you can find an original used door that is "rust free". No matter what anyone says. They rust from the inside out. With the outer skin off you can easily see and fix all the rust. From what i've read here, the tri-plus brand doors are really well made now.

I agree I found 2 sets of doors that looked dang good... got them back from the blaster and both sets were rusted at both hinges, So I decided to put the word out to see if I got lucky on some NOS doors, missed one set by 2 days Nobody else will even admit they have a set at any price, so I did call GMCpauls and I'm going with the brand they recommend.

I seem to remember Board Vendor Tim Christian commenting about an "apex" door a while back. If I remember right he was very pleased with the fit of those.
