C10 doors to Blazer doors

[blown32]

I'm sure this has been done. Has anyone cut down 69-72 C10 doors and made them into Blazer doors. They look the same other then doing away with the top portion of the window frame. Any problems in doing this?

That's how the factory did it, if I'm not mistaken the assembly manual you can buy shows the process.

Thank you, this information is helpful!

I seem to recall Blazer doors have reinforcement pieces built into them that the truck doors don't have. Someone might confirm this.

You are correct they have a reinforcement plate spot welded in at the latch area. Remove them from your current doors before you scrap them I don't know how many sets of those I have sold. There is also a stainless steel plate that is screwed to the doors that the truck door will not have.

You can use truck doors, but suburban doors will work too.

Your link doesn't work for me.

The previous owner trashed the original Blazer doors and put truck doors on so I guess I'm out of luck. I will have to try to fabricate some new parts or look for donor Plates.
Thank you everyone for your replies!

I have made door plates out of bad doors. cut out the area around the latch and roset weld it to your door

I'm actually going to do this myself. It is in the assembly manual. there are three cuts to make.. I'm going to a bone yard to get doors this weekend as long as they are in good shape...
