75-76 door panel to 77-78 door?

[Rags]

Like the title says, will door panels from a 75-76 fit on a 77-78 door?

Thanks,

Joe

No, the lock pull is not in the same location and I believe there are other differences as well. The lock pull moved forward in '77.

I thought the lock pull moved forward with the introduction of the large bumper 74.5 260Z.

No, the lock pull move coincides with the redesigned latch mechanisms in '77. I learned this back in the mid-80's when I tried to swap a '77 door panel onto my '76. My '72 and '76 panels would swap, though were different due to the door pulls.

Thanks guys. Next question, is it possible to dye tan door panels black? I have one good tan passenger door panel and I need a black one.
