Question on doors for a '69 GMC

The doors on my '69 GMC are rusted out at the bottoms. I've got holes big enough to stick my fist through and I figure it'd be easier to replace the doors than to try and repair them. Will anything 67-72 fit my '69? Also, is there a difference between Chevy and GMC doors?

Re: Question on doors for a '69 GMC

Any of the 67-72 doors will fit. However, the 67's have a different latch for the wing windows, the inside handles are different and if I recall the outside door handles have a slightly different mount. The 72's have a screw below the front division bar, on the inside that adds some extra support for the wing window assembly. If you get a matched pair then none of this will matter much.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. What about GMC vs Chevy doors? Are they the same?

They are the same. As mentioned, 67 hardware is slightly different, but won't matter and 72 has different inside latches. Again, no big deal. You will just need to use the 72 door panels or switch your mechanisms. Physically the door shells are basically same.
