So where would I get rear doors from? There are no other trucks like this around here

Is that a 88 newer body style or old square body? If it is a square they dont have cut outs for the door. They should work.

old square body

85burb · 05-02-2010, 11:17 PM

Deff no wheel cut outs on mine. Pretty sure they will work.

wendling053 · 05-02-2010, 11:22 PM

Well Ill see if I can find some if they work they work if not then ill call lmc......

Another question I need new carpet, my truck is an 88 but lmc shows 88s as a different truck so I will have to order it from the 87and older catalog? As well as other stuff I have to get?

85burb · 05-02-2010, 11:31 PM

Ya should be the same as older one. It is a 2500 or 3500 right? I think LMC makes a specal catalog for them.

my 87 crewcab was a work truck and the PO swapped power doors from a suburban onto it...they will mount up just fine...all the later front doors should interchange and the later rear doors should interchange also... you'll be fine

also, your truck is either a R20=3/4 ton 2wd, R30=1 ton 2wd, V20=3/4 ton 4wd, or V30=1 ton 4wd...from 88-91 only the 1/2 ton trucks switched to the newer body style...all the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks between 88-91 kept the square body style...this does not hold true for the blazers and the suburbans though...they carried the square body style all the way through 91 whether they were a 1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton...
