Rubber Door Bumpers
How many bumpers are installed on each door? My truck has three holes. My truck's pre-disassembly photos show the top and middle holes having the bumpers installed. The photos don't include the area that has the very lower hole so I cant be sure if it was installed. LMC shows two bumpers, at the middle and lower holes.
Any ideas?

Re: Rubber Door Bumpers
Both my 1970 Blazer and 1972 Cheyenne had those bumpers at the top and bottom location only. Nothing in the middle.

Re: Rubber Door Bumpers
Interesting... All the 69 and up trucks above show the top and bottom locations with bumpers but no middle hole.
1970cstblazer, I also assume your trucks had no middle holes? Wonder if it's a 68 and maybe a 67 thing? If have to check my stash of the removed parts to see if there a total of six bumpers. I'll probably use all six holes. Thanks guys. Anymore input?

Re: Rubber Door Bumpers
My 67 has the three holes but I find that the rubber in the middle rubber keeps getting broken. maybe its just my fat butt catching it.

Re: Rubber Door Bumpers
My '68 has the top and middle bumpers, but there is no hole in the rocker panel for a bottom bumper. I believe the rocker panels are original.

Re: Rubber Door Bumpers
I just thought of something. The rockers on mine are repros. I would image my original bumpers broke upon removal as I don't have them in my stash and no photos of that area.
I'm going to assume it didn't have the lower bumper. I can't see a pattern as what years had what...

I know my rockers are original -- they're still shot. They were solid when I bought it, but that was 51 years ago. At least I had the fun of splashing thru the surf on both coasts. Looking for the Licorice Dots on my '67 K/10 Suburban, I was surprised to find only two. Upper and Mid. Also a Fremont rig. This leads to the intriguing question: how many are behind Door Number Three?  Behold: Upper and Midline on Door #3.

Re: Rubber Door Bumpers
Adding another post as the attachment system balks if I load too many images...
The white one is my '67 K/10.[So the Suburban has one Upper and 1 Lower. No Mid. Fremont truck.] The blue is the '71 GMC JImmy K/1500. [And it, too, has one Upper, one lower. No Mid. St Louis build.]

Re: Rubber Door Bumpers
My 69 has 3. Looks like the bottom bumper doesn't stick out as far as the others. It's a CST. Wonder if trim level has anything to do with it?
