73 to 72 Dodge Dart door swap
Figured whole door, as long as it fit.
I didn’t think about matching the interior!
Yeah the door is easy as long as you buy a complete door with all its guts.
The ‘70-‘72 doors have a metal top though instead of a plastic upper, so that won’t match the rear quarter window surround. The door panel is smaller on the earlier doors. But you can probably find a design that matches pretty closely, especially if you buy a door panel for a ‘72.
I’ve never looked into it that far on a Dart, you may also need a different upper door seal because of the wing vent vs roll up glass.
Its too bad you’re on the other side of the country, I have a set of ‘72 Dart doors.
72 to 70 is actually lighter... less metal. Supposedly, it's substantial.
Yeah the ‘73+ doors got side impact crash protection. There’s a door beam and some additional reinforcement. I haven’t weighed them, but it is noticeable if you pick up a later door and then pick up an earlier one. It’s not a massive difference, but it’s more than a couple pounds.
