Blazer Door Cut down

Has anyone cut down a 1972 C10 door to fit a blazer? Or could someone direct me to the right thread?

Re: Blazer Door Cut down

Raggedjim & Iks dcvn, have either of you done it and if have was it easy? Because I'm debating on cutting one down or just buying new doors. Give me your thoughts.

Re: Blazer Door Cut down

It is very easy, I used a cutoff wheel and measured the old door.

Re: Blazer Door Cut down

I've never done it, but it sure looks easy. The only downside is the truck doors won't have the reinforcement plates at the latch area.

Drill the spot welds out on your original doors and weld them on the truck doors.
