I think most people are afraid to use them. Supposedly they reqiure alot of adjustment. Stacey on Trucks even opted for original doors which was bogus for him to do.

Wasn't it GMC Paul that helped develop the doors? I thought he test fit them and they worked fine.

The aftermarket doors I bought didn't fit well at all! I ended up rescuing my doors. Frankly, I'm glad I did. They fit a lot better than the ones from Taiwan.

Mt opinion on any of the reproduction doors right now is the fit is good, but the window opening is too wide by an 1/8". I have reported this problem to the manufacturer, and we will see if they fix the problem. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

From what I've seen, the repop doors from Tiwan are nothing more then the truck doors cut down. I did not see any reinforcing at the door latch like original stock doors have. Have a set of truck repop doors waiting to go into a SWB restoration---we'll see!!

i talked to a guy,at the springfield swapmeet,and he said you still have to trim the blazer doors at the window opening?? and the fit wasn`t all that good so he sent them back to the vender.
they might be better now, this is when they first came out. jamie
