Doors needed

[Beaz]

Anyone now of a place to find a set of good doors for my 72. New skins would work but hinge mounts are cracked. /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

72 what? Blazer? Pickup? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

oops, Blazer. Which brings up another question, some say find pickup doors and modify them but I don't see how.

I have a line on pickup door's, but as how to mod. them, I have'nt a clue. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif

Truck doors work fine on a Blazer.
In fact that is what the factory did (they cut down Truck doors).

If you buy a Factory Assembly manual it has diagrams of where to cut. Some people have scaned them if you do a search I am sure you will find a pic.

You also have to make sure you move the reinforecment plate for the door latch to the truck doors (the body of a Blazer flexes more than a truck and these keep the door from cracking).

there is a vendor currently developing new first gen K-5 doors. I think he had the first prototype and was moving toward production. His web site says that they are available in May. http://www.gmcpaulstruckparts.com/parts_coming_soon.htmhttp://www.gmcpaulstruckparts.com/parts_coming_soon.htm

I have a set of doors from my 72 K5. They aren't perfect, but they are pretty complete and in very repairable shape. I can give you pics if you're interested.
