Doors for sale!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**AspecialZ** · 06-12-2004, 11:41 PM

Hey guys and gals!!! I bought a 76 chevy truck from Arizona and it arrived on a flat bed friday night, I am using most of the parts on my 76 stepside, but I do not need the doors. I am told they fit 73-87 trucks, they are excellent doors, all in tact with no rust anywhere, if your interested make an offer, or if you want them I will bring them to the Pittsburgh Parts-a-rama next weekend, I know shiping would be huge, thanks guys and gals!!

the door skin is thinner on an 81 to 87 and the glass is too, thats what i've heard at least

Somewhere here I recall someone showed with pix the differences between 73-76 and 73-87 doors. Any info about that or leads to that post?

Sanity's Bane, I'd heard the same thing about being thinner glass and metal...part of weight reduction with the slight restyle as I understand it.

But supposedly they will all fit? Do laters fit earliers but not vice versa??

yes they will fit, i've got 1 original door on the drivers side and the pasingers is off of a 79 i belive, also the window regulators are differnt, other than that, i have no clue

eagle23 · 06-13-2004, 03:24 PM

My understanding is that the 73-76's were different in some noteworthy way, but I don't recall what it is. I have a 77, and want some doors but want them to fit. The 79 would have fit the 83, other than the metal/glass thickness, and maybe how the vent windows were set up.

AspecialZ, I'm not trying to hijack your thread, just so's you understand

If we do bidness, I want to make sure I don't buy what won't fit

No reflection on you!

I understand guys, i really didn't know that info...thanks!!

ANY door from 1973-1987 will fit any truck from 1973-1987. The difference between the doors are the door panels and guts. 1973-1976 doors are unique to themselves. The guts and door panels will only fit doors of the same years. 1977 on up, all parts interchange I believe.

Chris has some pics of gutted doors and their differences, maybe he will chime in and shed some more light on your questions.

FYI - 1973-1976 doors are ALOT more expensive than 77 up doors, this is even if GM still sells them.

AzpecialZ,

I'll pass on these '76 doors. They look really good but from what Jeff has said and Chris' info, it would not be what I'm looking for...the inner door panels won't transfer, plus the innards are unique to those first three years despite the doors themelves fitting fine.

From what was written, you might get a good price for them from a 73-76 owner who wants some really good OEM doors...esp in NJ

Thanks for your patience, guy!

are they UPSable or are they too big?

benscool1 · 06-15-2004, 12:20 AM

I'm next in line!

FWIW, you can put a 77-newer door panel on an older door by using screws into the door on an older door, but you cannot put the older door panel on a newer door.

**AspecialZ** · 06-16-2004, 10:51 PM

i AM SURE THEY ARE UPS ABLE, BUT THE PRICE I DO NOT KNOW, MAYBE BEST TO GO WITH A TRUCKING FIRM OR SOMETHING, IF YOU WANT TO DROP ME SOME INFO I WILL FIND SOME CHEAP QUOTES GUYS

rich-white · 06-17-2004, 08:15 PM

Trucking (LTL) would be a 100.00 easy. Check ups to 63129 St. Louis Mo let me know what it would cost to ship.
