See the below pic from one of your other threads of the Ford style of door:
Tony,

I agree it is a Chevrolet 12 Cab, but not because of the inner door being lined or not. The main identifying point are the vent holes, if they are there they are round on Chevrolets and square on Fords.

I have seen Fords with lined doors, and Chevrolets with unlined doors. Take a closer look at the pic you attached: note the round vent holes and the banjo axle standing in front of it?!?

I agree with Hanno... if you zoom in on the picture just behind the 44 that its sitting on you can also see the chev style spring shackle.
