    Doors from a 74 coupe fit 69 coupe ??

    Do the doors from a 74 coupe fit a 69 coupe? If not, what are the differences?

    I am pretty sure they will physically interchange, but the 74 doors have a steel side impact beam that the 69 doors did not have. The 74 doors are considerably heavier than the 69 doors.

      Hi Ned,
      If I may, I'll just add to Edward's info that you can see the end of the impact beam at the front and rear of the door.

        Did you ever look at this "beam". It's just a bit of bent up sheetmetal to look like a beam. At least on my 73
