74 coupe or convertible? 78 coupe doors would work on a 74 coupe, but there are hardware and trim differences.

it's a coupe and they both have electric windows. I have new door panels for the 74 doors and wondering if they will fit the 78 too? Thanks for your response

Not without modifying them. 78 doors have the door opening handle in a different place and use the combination armrest-grab handle.

69-77 coupe doors would be a better choice for you and let you use your 74 panels..
