    71 thru 76 big gm cars will all swap.
    only variance will be pulls for the glass back window if going from plastic to glass.

    Yuk, he's asking about the actual doors, not the glass. I believe the 72 and 75 doors are interchangeable, but cannot verify. I checked some photos out of 75's and the appear to be the same.

    EEE Straight out of lo-cash!

    I believe they are the same 71-76. I picked up a set of later 70's for my 72 which looked identical. It would be nice to check with a part number. Flynbuick on this board seems to have access to all kinds of parts numbers.

    72 and 75 B & C body doors for 2 door cars are the same part numbers

    if the door was from a centurion 2 door hard top, would it fit on a 75 lesabre convertible?

    The books make no exceptions to this exchange for converts. Since they are B body donors they would on paper be included even though one is a 5000 series and the other a 6000 series car. This info is for the bare door and not the innards like glass, handles etc.

    what would i have to do to get the glass, handle etc. off of my lesabre door and put them on the centurion door?
