1972 Cutlass Door Fit

Actually have two questions I'm sure someone can answer.

- On a '72 Cutlass, are the doors the same size/fit on a post car and a hardtop except for the window frame/vent window on the post car? Basically, curious if the physical door size is the same?

- Are the spindle, caliper, and rotor on a '70 chevelle the same as a '71 cutlass? Looking to convert my power drums over to disc.

Thanks, Rick

Yes to both questions.

The doors, without the post frame, are the same dimension.

On the brakes, you need the spindle, caliper bracket, and rotors,. Also, the same set-up from a 69-72 Chevelle, Tempest, Skylark, 68-74 X Body(Nova,etc), and the 67-69 F body(Camaro, Firebird) can be used as donors

On the disc brake parts, also grab the little L shaped bracket bolted to the frame that the rubber brake line attaches to. They are different between drum and disc.
