Can anyone confirm whether or not a 65 and 66 2dr doors are interchangeable? I Believe the skins are the same and it will physically bolt up, but will all my 65 internal hardware and glass swap over to the 66 door without issue?
I Have a 65 Eldorado in need of a passenger door (skin) as mine is in pretty bad shape. ive found a 66 door shell locally but while researching i am getting conflicting information and cant say for certain if my 65 door internals (glass, motor, etc) will mount into a 66 door or not.
thanks

These doors required drilling holes to attach moldings.
I also looked them up in a 1974 Book,to see if in later years they substituted . Still the same, and several models of the doors were no longer available for 1965-66.

Note interchange A to B is limited to door less glass and vent window frame.
1706A fits 1784A as complete door only
1706B fits 1784B as complete door only
I believe you will have problems using your 1965 parts on 1966 door.

Thank you Warren. looks like i need to find a 65. I guess worse case i could try to reskin the door, or at least the lower half. problem is the body line is damaged and im not confident i have the skill to get it right.
