1967-1972 Chevy / GMC C10 Truck Doors - Differences

[@joewho3691]

C10 is my life 👍

[@C10TruckNerd]

Not a bad life then!!

[@danielalamo2075]

Thank you for the tips. I knew about many differences but not all.

[@C10TruckNerd]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@danyo492]

Thanks for this video! Super helpful! Looking for a set of doors for my 67 now. 🤞🏼

[@C10TruckNerd]

Good deal! I’m glad it could help. Thanks for sharing and for watching!

[@kerryamos4417]

Very helpful! Thanks more information on these old pick ups.

[@C10TruckNerd]

I appreciate it! I will keep them coming!

[@billbufford2320]

Also, if you have a 1967 model the exterior door handles mount slightly different. The bolts go straight into the handle where later years they were angled. Reproduction outer handles will say 67-72 but on a 67 it requires a bit of modification.

[@C10TruckNerd]

Awesome! Thanks for commenting! I have noticed many aftermarket parts are not labeled year specific like they should. That would save a lot of headaches when we can't figure out why a part won't fit.

What modifications do I need to to I have a 1967 door on my 1970c10. Please respond

Great info, restoring my 69' c10

[@C10TruckNerd]

Thank you! I have a lot more videos to come!

[@fernhoppertimberworks8037]

Great video ....some day I will own another 67 Chevy....I missed a 67 gmc that had 46000 original miles in it ..,some day I will have another good Chevy...

[@C10TruckNerd]

I hope so too!

[@timhanson2080]

Can you put a reinforcement screw in a 67 door?

[@chizcake08]

Interesting! I have never noticed the wing window difference on the 67s.

[@C10TruckNerd]

I am guessing they had several of the 66 glass and handles left over.

[@gaspargarcia4177]

Very good video thank you!!

[@C10TruckNerd]

Thank you!!

[@halfasshank]

Hi. A video on how to remove/replace the window regulator would be handy

[@C10TruckNerd]

I've put it on the list. Thanks for reaching out!

[@CowboyJunkySC]

Also the door latch control is different. The shaft is shorter on the 67. Maybe? because the extra padding and vinyl options on the 68 & up. I'm hoping to take up the slack with the felt washer and door grommets etc. Maybe I'll Frankenstein the two if that doesn't work.

[@C10TruckNerd]

There is nothing wrong with a Frankenstein truck! That’s all I do!

[@JonnyBlazeTCB]

Hi. Me again. My 70 driver door has a hard time opening. It's related to the latch. Previous owner had same problem. I just installed a brand new latch assembly and it's still doing it. The key lock and knob lock work fine. When I shut the door, I have to push in and push thumb button several times before it will finally open. When I push button in with door open, the teeth on the latch free spin like I'm sure they are supposed to. When not pushing the teeth have about a 1/2" of play. If any of that even matters. The interior handle won't open it either. When I hold thumb button in, I can push the door closed all the way so nothing seems to be catching. I'm confused. My passenger door works flawlessly. What gives?

[@sparkydon99]

I am converting my 1972 doors to electric windows, Where do you install the switch? Some have told me to change the panels to the 1970 model with flatter door handle and window crank Holes., If I do change the panels to the 1970, how do I mount the panels to the 72 Door There are now screw holes for the bottom panel screws. On the 72 it is held on with the nylon clips

[@C10TruckNerd]

The only one I have done, we recovered the plastic 72 door panels and put the switches where the crank used to be. If not, you can use machine screws and nuts with the older metal panels and the top door panel retainer at the top. I’ve got some pics of one or check out my video of my buddies truck we did a video on and you can see his. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4bKg2yImtCij7ssi=4KkTXiP23Of9Sy5_

[@DS-hg5ji]

Hello, just wondering if you have any research on the 1967 model power steering. I'm told that some components in the 67 were one year only use and are not necessarily reproduced. Specifically the power steering box and pump. Any info would be appreciated.

[@C10TruckNerd]

You are correct. 67 used more like a ram style assist vs the traditional pump. The frame on a 67 is straight on the drivers side since it wasn't equipped with the traditional pump. 68 and up have a small indent or dimple in the frame for the pump to fit into. You can still use 68 and up PS pumps though. Some need some shims and others don't. If you watch my 1967 year only video, you can see what I'm talking about a little better. I hope this helps answer your questions.

[@jimmysapien9961]

Just go to rack and Pinion

[@jeremymurphy2626]

So will 72 doors fit a 70? If so all internals would have to be ordered 72 specifically?

[@C10TruckNerd]

A 72 has longer internal door handle and window cranks mechanisms sticking out to fit over the deeper plastic door panels that are year specific. The only other difference is the support screw under the wing window in a 72. So if you wanted to switch 72 doors to a 70 style with the thin metal door panels, you would need 67-71 internals. You could also just have a little extra space between and not change anything. Hope that made sense.

[@8luggarage]

Will the metal interior door panel from a 69 fit onto a 72 door? The 72 interior plastic door panel never realy impressed me as much

[@C10TruckNerd]

Yes it will, although the window crank and door handle mechanism sticks out of the door further to accommodate the thicker plastic panel.

[@8luggarage]

@@C10TruckNerd ok thanks for the information. I'm building my 72. I tend to call it Frankenstein because nothing is originally to anything and it's mostly from random parts. 😄. But when it's done I'll be very happy to drive it

[@J9irizarry]

Is it possible the 72 has the screw on the right side only, iv seen two, and the one you have is a right side door also,

[@C10TruckNerd]

I have had several differences in the same year on the 67-72s. Many times it depended on when it was built in the year. Maybe some of the doors were carried over from 71. Good question!

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

Hi Chad, I'm working on a 69' Chevrolet Panel truck. The drivers door is squared on the top left corner as opposed to rounded on the trucks. The surburban looks similar in the aftermarket catalogs, do you know if they are the same? LMC said they have no information one way or another. I just bolted up a 1972 TRUCK door for fun and it all lined up nice other than the rounded right hand corner, have you ever seen a window frame changed on a door? The frame just appears spot welded.

[@C10TruckNerd]

I am mainly a truck guy, but I believe the subs and panels used the same doors. I haven’t seen a frame changed but sure it can be done.

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

@@C10TruckNerd Thanks...I took the door to a body shop today for some ideas. Your video got me going! Thanks again!

[@C10TruckNerd]

Awesome! Thanks for the comments and watching!

[@scottraper9574]

I need a set of rust free doors for my 1970 c10. Do you happen to have any?

[@C10TruckNerd]

I don’t have any right now. I’ll let you know if I find any soon.

Still looking for a 67 step side bed or short

[@C10TruckNerd]

Slim pickings around here for any decent beds. Even long.

[@jimmysapien9961]

LMC Truck / build it

[@patrickmcgoldrick8234]

The early 67 had the glass,with the 60-6 wing vent latch later 67s had the 68-72 latch,those doors had a problem with hard use where the upper inside metal panel below the glass had a tendency to split,the 67- 72 brand X had far better fitting doors,were alot easier to change out window regulators ,glass wing vents,and door glasses,and were not plaged with the rattles that the 67-72 GM trucks had.

[@C10TruckNerd]

I’m guessing they finally figured it out in 72 and put that reinforcement screw at the top of the door to stiffen it up. It’s wild to see how many subtle changes happened over the years.

[@patrickmcgoldrick8234]

@@C10TruckNerd You're right.

[@triplenickel9938]

Are the internal regulators different for 72 as well? Due to the different door panels?

[@C10TruckNerd]

Yes they are. The shaft on the window crank and door handle mechanism is longer to stick through the new deeper solid door panels. Great question!

[@YoungHeartedSoul]

Excellent video!!! I am curious, is there a difference On the bottom part of the inner door on a 72 from a 67-71 ? I bought a repair bottom panel and that lip that follows the bottom door inner edge doesn’t match or even begin to line up with the factory lip. I know aftermarket panels are not close to fitting the original panel, but its way different. Thank you!

[@C10TruckNerd]

I don’t know if any differences over the years. You are correct on the aftermarket stuff. I have bought different rockers and corners from different companies that weren’t even close. I like using original metal for patches when I can. Doors are getting hard to find something with good bottoms.

[@jeffrey4547]

i am glad i have all the extra parts for my 67 and 68 pu's mite be trading a 65 for another 68 plus i have a few nice 79 pu's one is a full option 79 cheyenne 4x4 short box with the 400 sbc and 400 turbo with under 35,000 miles on it

[@C10TruckNerd]

Sounds like a good collection! 67-72 are my favorite, followed by the squares. My 1st truck was a 79 custom deluxe.

[@lincolnbergen5226]

👍

[@xmo552]

67-87 there's a ton of minor yearly differences, trim differences, and obviously frame differences between 1/2 3/4 1 ton etc etc etc.

[@C10TruckNerd]

You said it! I guess that way GM could sell a bunch of parts!

[@BlueMacGyver]

Stop telling people those doors aren't salvageable, I have limited experience and I know for a fact I could fix them. Some rudimentary welding and pattern making would 100 percent save them

[@C10TruckNerd]

There were a couple reasons that door was scrapped. The bottom was also rotted out. Good doors don’t sell for much around here. I tried selling it but no luck. And I’m a guy that doesn’t like to trash anything! Lol

Well I'm sorry I live in New York State there is No option I've gone through all of them 55 years old I'm building it for the last time I'm putting brand new doors on it She's not original Don't plan on making a original But I enjoy it I built it with my father I pulled it at death's doors And brought it back to life It was 2 wheel drive now it's 4 wheel drive I'm the same frame And I've had it for About 38 years

[@C10TruckNerd]

I am happy to hear you saved her and got family time out of it too! I really enjoy the stories that come with these old trucks! Let us know what company you use for new doors and if you are happy with them. I know several will be interested. Thanks for the comments and watching!

[@tamariusdurham2588]

Are the vent window frame pretty much the same and can be interchanged with few modifications?

[@C10TruckNerd]

Yep. All 6 years will fit each other.
