I'd look up Jr Vera on Facebook. He might have an original. That's a better option. He does delivery your way occasionally.

Re: 72 k5 door

Most likely cut a door.Just a check see if anyone had better luck out there with repop.I know most all are massaged a bunch.Thanks for replies.

On my 1970, I cut down original 1970 truck doors, and added the latch reinforcement plates, and the long screw by the vent window. Of course the fit is as good as possible with these vehicles.

Re: 72 k5 door

The rear window channel didn't line up, did some tweaking and bending, and now it sorta fits better
