doors ??

I found a set of very clean doors off a 1980 vette, would they fit my 73 ??.

Yes, but the inside part is completely different. The inside handle and lock stuff are in very different locations.

In other words, no good for me if I want to stay original. Thanks

You would just have to remount your inside door handle and add clip nuts for the door pull. I did exactly this on my 73. Also the window motor has a different plug on it, but the vendors sell an adapter for the wiring harness.

So it can be modified to accept the 73 panel ? ok, so I guess its worth looking into then.

It's been a couple of years since I did mine but I think the bolt holes were already there for the lock and handle assembly. I then put on the door panel and scribed marks for the door pull. then with a dremel I cut a slot to accept a slip on clip nut for the door pull screws.
