could someone tell me what this is off of - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fast71 · 08-22-2003, 09:18 PM

I found these today at my friends property and they are perfect but look at the lower front corners . They look factory ,infact I can see the spot weld.

Bryan68custom · 08-22-2003, 09:26 PM

looks like dump truck or 2-ton door

fast71 · 08-22-2003, 10:15 PM

no but look like a 71 or down panel

Mountain Man · 08-22-2003, 10:19 PM

That is a door off of a three ton.

The door is notched for clearance for the running board step

fast71 · 08-22-2003, 10:22 PM

oh well to bad they are in great shape

**jamie72** · 08-22-2003, 10:39 PM

i got a set of those too,i`m planning on just
using a set of lower outer door pach panels and use them on one of my builders...

sameyrasmea72 · 08-23-2003, 12:05 AM

The door panels or at least the 72's work perfect tho. I found a mint set of black ones that I used on my Cheyenne super

*Shane* · 08-23-2003, 12:37 AM

BIG truck doors ... mountain man is correct ... notch is for running board/front fender clearance

Glen · 08-23-2003, 10:24 AM

Thats cool, definitely a piece of history, hang it from the rafters in the barn just like it is

Longhorn Man · 08-23-2003, 09:19 PM

It could be off of anything C-40 or bigger.
Interesting thing though, not all the bigger trucks had the cut out...front ends were not all the same.

bobs409 · 08-24-2003, 08:37 AM

I see these alot in the junkyards around me. They are definetly from the bigger trucks. I've seen many old Yuengling beer deliver trucks like this. (that's the beer made here in Pottsville, Pa)

One nice thing is they are usually in good shape because they sit up so high and the running board protects them.

teeitup · 08-24-2003, 09:39 AM

Yes like everyone said, big trucks and usually in good condition. I've seen quite a few of them around here too.

*Shane* · 08-24-2003, 11:15 AM

just out of curisosity .... are thes the same doors as the smaller trucks (mounting, windows, latches, etc, etc, etc) with the ONLY difference being the triangle notch?

hmmmmm <rubs chin & scratches head in thought>

Longhorn Man · 08-24-2003, 05:54 PM

Shane...I believe that is correct.

JimKshortstep4x4 · 08-25-2003, 06:46 AM

The big truck doors are the same as the pickups. The corners are cut off. A new corner can be fabricated and installed very easily.

Jim

VTKidder · 08-25-2003, 09:22 AM

big big trucks, and it sucks cause I've seen more of those style doors in great shape than ones for our trucks!

exactly what I was rubbin' my chin about!

bobs409 · 08-25-2003, 03:09 PM

It's got me thinking too! How many of these did I pass on? I think im going to nab any that are in good condition from now on. Welding on a corner should be a piece of cake.

Crank · 08-25-2003, 03:45 PM

This has them I think...
Brandon

Hardrock2 · 08-26-2003, 11:22 PM

Ya never want to leave any stone unturned! LOL!
I always check those big trucks, C-40 and up.

The doors will work on pickups with a new corner.

Look for factory tachs, and look at ALL 1972 C-40, C-60 trucks!

Somebody once told me they wanted RED interior in their '72 pickup,
but RED wasn't a factory color in "72 (in pickups) So I pulled out a NICE pair of FACTORY RED '72 door panels, and the guys jaw dropped!!
RED WAS AVAILABLE IN '72............just in C-50's, C-60's!!!

Got'em from a '72 C-60 tanker truck......With Custom option and factory A/C!! Nice old truck!

Mike

ckhd · 08-27-2003, 11:59 AM

I had a C60 dump and it had the notches in the corner... and a red interior.

**1970cstblazer** · 08-27-2003, 05:33 PM

I like the Green GMC with the Military axles.

*Phillip Johnson* · 08-27-2003, 07:17 PM

I have a set of those on my 70 C40

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-27-2003, 10:35 PM

A truck at the junk yard has those on it!!! It also has a vaccum guage dash but no tach or air.
