    Hi Guys

    I was thinking of swapping 'window' doors as my side doors and found the doors below on eBay:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/chevy-chevrolet-van-g30-a-pair-of-rear-doors-with-hinges-astro-gmc-ambulance/392379716718

    If I'm correct, the rear and side doors are the same on our vans?

    My van is a '69 G10 - and I see the handles are different on these but they look the same shape/profile as mine - they look like maybe '80s.

    Will they fit?

    Thanks

    The license plate light and CHEVROLET lettering have holes in the rear doors,,,,,but the 64-70 all fit,,,,,,I would say you need to try one of those doors on before buying,,,,I doubt they fit,,,,,

    Thanks Doni

    The condition and the uncertainty are tipping the balance against them for me, they just look similar.

    First and second gen side and rear doors are all interchangeable.... The doors in that listing are third gen and won't fit!
