[urq] Door pocket fix

[Pasqualoni, James E]

I can confirm that the pre-'84's have pockets that run from the front of the
door panel to just under where the interior door handle marries the arm

Jim

well I understand the early (pre '84) door pockets are short - liek half the

door  - my '84 pockets are full door length...
