Are early and late model doors interchangeable? Can you use a latter model door on a 1970 car and have it fit correctly?

I know what Porsche48 is talking about. I have worked on this car. The doors are tight aganst the stricker plate when closed. There is no metal to metal touching. But the door are set back in the space. It is the same on both sides.
The question is not weather the doors are a different size or length, but is there a difference in mounting or something in the hinges? Now I have seen 2 cars with this same issue and I talked with an owner at Ron & Glens swap meet who also had this problem putting late doors on an early car. What about something in the hinge plates themselves? |
