Default 74 vert door question

Looking at possibly replacing a door on my wifes vert. Do the vert and coupe use the same door?

You can do a search, but I pretty sure they are different lengths.

Default Ran into this very problem ...

on my '74 'vert; bought what ended up being a coupe door from a fellow member for driver's side. The only difference is that the '70 to '75 'vert has a door reinforcement "receiver" on it and the coupe door doesn't. Paragon Repro has the piece in case you don't want to take the trouble of cutting this off your 'vert door (my shop did, this portion of the original door was OK). Good condition 'vert only doors are pretty hard to find so there must be enough of a demand to make this part. I'm not sure on the glass as my originals were used as well as all of the other pieces (it was just the steel door shell itself that was in bad shape). Everything fit OK, the coupe door used was from a '74 coupe which also had the extra guard rail like piece like the original ... posting two links that shows this ... first is my original against the coupe door, second is link to Paragon part and write-up.

Vert door is red, coupe is blue

Vert door conversion piece ...

What JRC said. The doors are the same length coupe and vert, but vert doors have the receiver and the glass is different.
