85 Chevy Truck Doors on a 74 Chevy Truck

I just picked up a passenger side door for my 74 3/4 ton chevy, will a door from a 85 work on it? They totally looked the same to me. Are there any difference to them?

I noticed places sell doors like 73-76 then 77-81 or something, I dont see no difference on the outside?? Is the door panel on the inside different or someting?

the difference is in how the door panel fits. The door panel on your 74 will not work with a newer door. Conversely, get both door panels from the 85 and they will fit fine. The newer doors have a different regulator, and the door panel style was changed so power windows could be adapted.

So if I understood you right what your saying is that I can use the newer style door panels on my old door? But not older style panels on a newer door?

yep. You will have to make your own screw holes at the bottom of the panel, but it will work.
