door parts interchangeable???

[THEGAME304]

i have a 1970 f100 and it has a 1967 drivers door and a 1970 passengers door.as you can picture the inside handles are different as are the arm rests..my question is, can i use all the hardware from a 1970 door>>ie: armrest, inside door handles on the 1967 door? also is it possible to use 1970 inside door panels on the 1967 door? thanks for all replies in advance....

This may help.

No, the only things from a '70 door that will work on a '67 are the vent window assemblies and the window regulators and glass. Since the '67 has the lever-style door release, it won't work....neither will the door panel. You could drill holes in the '67 panel to mount the '70 armrest, but you won't be able to put it in the normal spot, it'll have to be mounted lower, down below the lever-handle....too low to be useful as an armrest.

You're just simply going to have to find a '68-'72 door. Here's a view of the '67-only vs. '68-'72 doors from behind the panel:

I have the exact opposite problem that You have. I have a 67 with a drivers door from a 70. Want to swap?
