I know the general diffs between late and early, but I was unaware that there is also a Mid. varient. Early 73 had no beams and late regulators...
My question is are the Frames differnt on early & late doors? In other words can you take a early door that used the early regulators and can then bolt in the late regulators? |

Simple answer....no. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
It can be done, but it would take a LOT of work. Not worth it, IMHO. |

Anythings possible, but I tried doing that on my '72 way back in the early '90's and it was more trouble than it was worth. Fit was kind of crappy.
And to use the late reg. you also have to change the chrome guide that holds the triangle piece of glass. That guide is also differnet. The early doors had a channel with little rollers to help guide the window up and down and the late cars with the beefier reg has it just sliding in without the rollers. |
