Hi everyone, I have a 1966 98 that I'm working on that I was thinking of getting new doors for. I can fix the old ones but they're pretty rusted out and if I can get a set for a reasonable price I rather do that than spend dozens of hours trying to fix them up. I was wondering which doors from other cars could interchange. I need the front driver and passenger doors for a 4 door luxury sedan.

 

The factory parts book shows that the front door shells are only common on the 1966 Ninety Eight Town Sedan and Luxury Sedan (8469 and 8669 body styles). I would have thought that the 1965 doors would interchange, but the part numbers for the shells are different. There's no discussion of why they are different in the parts book, but it could be something as simple as holes for the door latches. Nothing else interchanges. The back door shells are the same on 1965 and 66 for those same body styles (Ninety Eight Town Sedan and Luxury Sedan). That tells me that the outer skins are the same contour for 1965 and 66.

 

Wow, that really surprises me as well. Great info, Joe, thank you!
