Are there two different types of doors? One lighter than the other?

If so are the doors interchangeable?

Thanks

Yes, there are early doors and late doors. They are interchangeable but there might be some minute differences in seals, etc.

Early doors have no side impact protection bars and have a 'worm' style window lift mechanism.
Late doors have side protection bars and a geared window lift.

There are a few crossover doors in early 1973 that are non-impact bar, but geared window lift.

The door bars are HEAVY.
