Default C3 door replacemnet

Hi All, On my 73 vette, I have 78 doors that someone put on years ago.
The door open handle is on the top right. I would like to put the correct doors on it with the door open handle running off the armrest.
My question is, a friend of mine has a pair of 75 doors, will these be a direct fit on the 73?
Thanks Richie

Corvette America lists the same doorpanel for 70 - 76 so I think your OK. If you want exact doors for it you could always give a corvette salvage yard a call.

Yes and no. Coupe or convertible?

73 and 75 doors are pretty much the same. The 75s ought to fit your 73. The real work is adjusting the fit after you've installed them.

They will fit, as indicated, you will just have to align them properly
