What is different about '72 doors? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1972 · 08-20-2005, 08:10 AM

I see in the catalog that the doors are listed 67-71 and then '72. What is the difference? Will a complete 67-71 door from a parts truck fit my '72 cab?

72 Doors require you to get different door lock mechanism's, different window mechanism's, diff door panel, different arm rests.

The 72 doors have a screw below the vent window (only year the trucks had this). The door panels are also unique to 72, requiring a longer shaft on the window regulator.

To answer your question, yes any 67-72 door will fit any 67-72 cab.

Welcome to the wonderful world of owning a 72 - there are many unique parts to be 'original' - which is a blessing and a curse!!
