I've got a 1978 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup. The doors are completely shot, with rust inside and out on the rockers, the hings are wasted, and the skin had gotten thin. So...I was down at my favorite junkyard, and found a pair of doors off an 89 blazer. The doors are in perfect shape, no rust, no dents, no dings, complete...$150 each. I believe the doors are the same dimensions, and are a direct bolt in. Does anyone know for sure?

Also, these Blazer doors are electric windows/locks, and mine is a roller. If I decide to keep the roller setup, will the door regulator and all the guts bolt in to the new doors with the new glass?

Thanks

I had a 90 full size Blazer. All the 4 door trucks and blazers were made at different plants than the pickups which changed over in 88.
