Destroyed my Drivers Side Door
Backed my tractor into my 75 coupe. 2'ball and hitch destroyed the door but did no damage to anything else. What years are interchangeable ? I have access to used doors. Are convertible doors different ? all c3s except 68 should fit ?

Hi Burnt71,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. There is a difference in C3 doors if you want to be correct. Starting in 1973 GM added a side guard beam in the doors for added passenger safety. Because of this beam the door skin had to be molded to fit over it. Since you have a 75, you could probably use a 73 and later door on your car. Actually you could use an earlier door but it won't be as safe or correct. I've included a few photos to show what the inner beam looks like and what to look for in the door jambs. I'm sure the photos will be above my text, which I don't prefer, but for some odd reason that's how they post. Not 100 % positive but I don't think there's a difference in Coupe or convertible doors other than the jamb hardware.

Hope this helps.
