Not to mention the door panels. You will never get a 67 panel to fit a 68 door and vica versa. I think the only thing the same is the size itself, and the outer door skin. I don't beleive there is anything inside the 68 door to bolt the wing window too anyway. Even the window felts are different. Look at these doors together very closely for awhile, and you'll see the problems trying to interchange anything. Except maybe the door latch. http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif ------------------ Steve 67 SS 396,4-sp 67 RS 327,4-sp 72 RS 350/350 69 4X4 suburban 350,4-sp 73 3/4 ton 454/400 Stevo Camaro's Toy (http://www.geocities.com/stevocamaro) Our Muscle Cars (http://community.webshots.com/user/steve_lynell) rawls Jan 7th, 01, 07:22 AM I like the 67 deluxe interior so i don't care about the door panels.I would also keep vent windows if i can't use the 68 glass just don't know about the hinges is there any way around this problem? 4 speed Jan 18th, 01, 03:31 AM there is a seprate part # for a 67 latch ,just bought one 100.00 .I could find anyone who knew if a 68 latch would work for sure . also does'nt the 68 have a wider lip at the top for the chrome? ------------------ stock? 67 hidden 69 rawls Jan 18th, 01, 02:23 PM I am not shure about the latch, however i have looked at the hinge and it looks like a conversion is not possible |
