Be aware that the gauge of steel on the Repros is somewhat lighter than originals. Also, the left one is much more often missing, because that door was opened and closed far more often. They were at times both removed because people mistakenly thought if you took those off, it would allow a 61-62 hardtop to fit a 56-60.

That's why I want an original, repro last resort.
Service bull from GM described retrofit of 61/62 tops to earlier cars. Find that bulletin on CAC.
