The doors werent unique to verts, the glass was and the guts were unique to the year. Hope that helps.
Any difference in doors between 69 and 70? I have 70 doors in alberta.

Convertible doors are different in that they have an anti rattle mechanism or possibly a safety latch built into them and i"m not sure if a hardtop door can be modified but I can find out. Please send me some pics so I can show my body man, get his opinion and see what kind of work they will need? Thx
I'm "knowledgable" on 67-9 cuda verts, and some of those parts cross over to darts. In the case of cudas, that anti-rattle piece was simple a screw on piece for the convertible. I believe the anti rattle piece is available repop?

In regards to the convert only screw on button....
On non concerts there are 2 dimples where the button goes.
Convert pass door
Non convert pass door
Convert pass door piller
As for door skins...
AFAIK the skins are the same 67 to 76.
in some Google searching people selling door skins show 68 to 72 are the same. There seems to be a hole on the upper door edge (for the mirror?) The looks out of place.

Old saying, learn something new every day and today is no exception. Thx big time for the Dart door education, will make my life a lot less complicated and improves my chances greatly as I move forward trying to find a solid set of doors.

Another source of education on the A body doors. I'm still shaking my head in regards to how Chrysler went about keeping the same door albeit slight changes on a car(s) for 10 years!

Information im getting says your "70" doors should be a good fit? Again, please send pics and general description of their condition?
What year did they do away with smokers window?
Vent window

I believe that is the vent window. The only difference in the earlier doors, say 67/69 ish is the way the window whiskers attach. Early doors have slots and I can't remember how exactly the cat whiskers attach on the later doors but I ran into this little annoyance. Memory not what it once was.

I'm thinking when the vent window was eliminated the cat whisker needed to be extended and maybe the way they secured them changed ???? Just check before you jump.

Still want to sell your doors? Thought I replied to your post?
There is a contour to the opening of the door frame where the vent window goes through.
No need for it on the non vent window years

One thing that has stood out since I started this project is the learning curve, thx for the observation.

1974 Paper Hollander has a whole bunch of slightly different numbers. But they are grouping in Demon and Dart Sport in the same section. Have a repairable R (passenger) H.T. shell, if anyone is looking for one. Clean on bottom pinch weld, good latch and hinge areas. Willing to ship Fedex Ground. Dave S. Las Cruces NM 88012.

Thx but i'll have to take a pass. Honestly all i need is door skins because my door frames, pinch welds ........are all solid. Because I'm having difficulty finding skins I thought if a good set of doors became available I would consider it but they need to be in good to very good condition. Again, thx for your consideration.

Certainly understand. Had a customer in Alberta (which is 1500 or so miles straight N of here) paid $500 for shipping only, in 2008 for a pair of Valiant fenders. Cannot comprehend what it would cost today, and with the additional distance involved.

Funny as it sounds i'm not the least bit worried about shipping, I have that covered at a realistic rate. Just want to find a good set of doors or door skins.
I have good doors in alberta. Let me know if you're still looking and I will get pics tomorrow. They are 1970 dart.
