Door Panels

[Old GMC]

Will the door panels interchange between 73-87?  I know the doors are different part #'s but will the panels fit?

73-76, 77-80, then 81-87.  The 77-80 will go on the 81-87 and back however the trim won't line up and match.

Thanks for the reply zieg85.  When you say the trim won't line up, just what are you referring too?  I am installing power windows in my 73 and will be installing new panels.  I want to use newer panels with no window crank holes.  I was hoping the 81-87 panels would fit my 73 without much modification.  Possible?  Is there really a big difference to the inside of the doors between years?

Yes the different is significant.

Thanks all for the info, will be installing aftermarket power window regulators so I think I'll try the 81-87 panels, how hard can it be right!  Thanks again for the info.
