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

You can cut down a truck door that’s what the factory did your in the best place to find one ,original anything is better then repop

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.

I really need input on Aftermarket doors too... i know many get used so someone has to have input? Finding decent truck doors in my area they are worse off than my Jimmy doors

I'm having a problem with the rear window channel bracket

**72 paul** · 09-08-2023, 10:34 PM

So what problem with bracket?

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