71 to 72 Blazer Door Differences

[CUCV2]

Getting ready to order up some doors. Picked up some original K5 doors at the JY but am not sure what year they are. I need to use the parts off the JY doors to put into the repop doors. Just need to know which version (69-71 or 72) of the door to order. Can someone tell me what the differences are between the two are? Pics would be a bonus.

They are almost the same except the 72 has a extra screw holding the wing window. I've heard the later models have some different internal reinforcement but I can't confirm that.

I think the only difference is the "strengthening" screw below the wing/vent window. Otherwise I believe they are the same. Interior panel is different too, but I think you are just interested in sheet metal differences...?

Also, save the latch cover from the JY doors if you are buying new repop...don't think they have them or sell them separately.

My 72 Door (passenger side, you can see the screw below vent window0:

Cover for latch (the part with 2/3 screws around the latch, also spot welded):

Yeah, junk yard part, but you can find it up to year 75 on all full verts. Post up on the wtb section, someone on here may have used an extra body for other parts or have them laying around.
