I need to get a driver's side door - and possibly a passenger side door - for a 71 GMC dump truck. Going to junk yards seems to be a waste of time; no one has anything that old anymore it seems.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a potential supplier? The truck is located in Northeastern PA. |

I have good doors from 71 GMC. both have good glass. Outside handle is broken on driver side. Little rust on door bottoms could be easily repaired. can send pictures. Located in Oklahoma. |

I think a door from 1967 thru 1972 Chevy C10-C60 or GMC 1500-6500 should fit. You will have to cut the bottom front corner off a door from a C10 thru C30 or 1500 thru 3500, but they are the same door otherwise. C40 thru C60 or 4500 thru 6500 should be the same as the 5500. I am not sure if the doors on the C70 thru C90 are the same. We once ordered a new door for a C50 and we had to cut the corner off. |

Hi - I'd like to see the pics - sorry I didn't respond right away but I didn't realize the notification emails from the site were going into my Spam folder.
Would you be willing to ship the doors to NJ? Otherwise I'd have no way to get them. |

I got a door from a '69 Chevy C-60 garbage truck last year to try to replace this one, and it doesn't fit - I figured the same thing. But the biggest problem I ran into was that the hinges are different from GMC to Chevy. |

At Weitsmans scrap yard in Binghamton, N.Y. they are taking in tons of old trucks each day. There is a couple of them sitting in there. Thet look like 70's to me. |
