Now I am trying to figure out how the door stops bolt to the body and the doors. No matter how I orient them I can't get them to look like the pics in the service manual. I got them off of a 51 panel in a junkyard and maybe they don't fit on a burb. Can anyone out there in Bolterland help out with advice or pics?

Weeds, I sent you a picture of the two different styles. The panel stops allow the doors to open to the ninety degree position at the loading dock and the suburban stops will mount without messing with the headliner. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | Hmmm, The ones ive seen,,,pnl. and sub. have been the same. 47-54. GMONIZ,,could you send me the diff. pics. also? Thanks,Marty [email protected] | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | The rear door stops were different on 3105 & 3805 Panel Trucks compared to 3106 (rear panel-door) Suburbans. 1947-1955 Panel Truck rear door stop. It has a half-way stop and a full open stop (perhaps to allow backing up to a loading dock, etc). 1950-1955 Suburban rear panel-door stop. It stops at one position. (During Advance-Design years, rear panel-doors became available in 1950).

I am definitely missing the stops on my 52panel. I've looked but they must have been gone a long time. You can tell it by looking at the hinges...
AND my body man is suppose to do the door aligning thing si I guess I better post for the stops in the swap meet....
Man, I find something missing off that panel everyday. I must be crazy to keep going...... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | these are TF panel complete - quite similar to the piece Tim shows as 47-55, GM did that sorta thing Bill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,132 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,132 | Marty, George, Bartamos, Tim and Alvin thanks for the replies. It looks like I have panel stops instead of burb stops. Using Marty's pics I think I can make the panel stops work on the burb. I'm going to try it. Let you guys know if it works out. Thanks.

Looks like i have burb ones on my panel and they seem to work ok.
So yours should work but if they don't or if you just want the right ones email me @ jos41chevy@hotmail.
