68-82 coupe doors are all interchangeable.
The inside release and lock **** operation is different on 68-77, from the 78-82 ones. 69-77 all use the same door pulls and mounting, while the 78-82's have the "hockey stick" arm rests, that mount completely differently. You can transfer your 69 release and lock to the 79 doors, but you have to use your door latch mechanism, and do a little fabrication/modification, to mount the lock/release mechanism and door pulls.
68 and 69, use the same doors for both coupe and convertible. 70-75 convertible doors are different from coupe doors. The conv. doors have a notch in the top rear of the door that contains a male alignment pin, that mates to a female alignment receiver on the lock pillar.
70-75 convertible doors will mount on a coupe, with no issues, and coupe doors can be used on a 70-75 convertible, if the alignment pins are removed from the lock pillar.
