I did a search but didn't find a definitive answer. I'm wondering if the door glass from a 74 impact door is the same as the door glass from a 73 non-impact door. I understand that the doors use different mechanisms for winding the windows but I'd like to know if the glass is the same such that I can transfer the glass from a 74 parts car into 73 doors...

Early 73's may or may not have same glass. As long as they BOTH have scissor lifts they will interchange

The ony early part is the aluminum post but it has the fuzzy channel for the late windows |

So, to clarify, even if the 73 door doesn't use the scissor mechanism the glass is the same? Sorry if that's a silly question. I haven't touched the innards of the doors yet and so know nothing at this point. I dug up a couple of pics of the inside of the doors for reference.
