1974 NOS doors.

Are NOS factory doors available for a 1974 C20 Pick up? If no, what is a resonable value if I find a pair? Thanks.

When I went to buy factory doors for my '74, they were already out of production. I got the later doors, easy to tell, they have the key slots down low for mounting the later door panels. They were also discounted, $230 marked down to $200 each. This was about 30 years ago, if someone still has factory new doors, I would guess above $500 or $600.

Only NOS once and I can conceivably see someone paying $750. After that, reworking a good used or aftermarket would be a better off as the doors weren't perfect originally to begin with and the aftermarket isn't that bad

I bought an NOS door for my 1987 V3500 restoration project. I paid $1000 for it. In hind sight I should have bought a clean used door.

Damn. I have a couple NOS doors that I've never used yet. Maybe I should just sell them and reinvest some profit into nice used doors. 1k each would definitely be worth the hassle.

There is a set in Maine for $1000 for the pair. that seems high enough.

Being you’re in or near the rust belt, I can see why you’d be looking for NOS parts as there probably aren’t many clean used body parts available.
Looks like someone one state over has a set for you, lol.
But seriously, unless your budget and plan is like the most high end resto ever seen, I would 100% first consider good used doors if you can find them in a reasonable distance, or quality repop doors if the first option runs dry.
$500 a pop for now ain’t too bad if you don’t have to ship them also.
But $1-2k in bare doors could go a long ways towards other parts and materials. JMO, but I’m cheap.
I’d honestly be thinking more about a road trip for big parts of if I was restoring a rusty car.

I don't like aftermarket sheet metal. It is never the same despite the claims.

Since I am paying someone to do the body work. The NOS door made sense because I did not have to pay the extra couple hours labor to clean, blast and prep the used door.
