compatibility of 67 and other years

Post by fireballmalone »

I have a 67 square and am in need of doors. Are they campatible with any other years? At a dead stop in my restore and the doors I can find are questionable on the year. Just thought I would ask.

I believe 67 is a one year only door. Still has the lock seperate from the handle, but has a inside lock pull at the top/back of the door rather than on the inside unlatch mech.

I think you can use 66 or later doors, they will fit ok (don't know about the latch on the "B" pillar - that may have to change with late doors), just won't be correct.

You can't use notch or early SB doors unless you weld in fasty door hinges.

Any later doors will work as Les has eluded to. The door panels vary a bit in armrest details and the door lock became one with the handle in 68.

Earlier doors- Please sell them to somebody who needs them!
