'73 doors on a '68 - will they fit?

[geoff]

I have a full set of doors (cab, sliding, rear and engine) from a '73, will they fit onto a '68 shell? I get the impression that the rear hatch might be different, and the hinges are different on the engine lid, but is it later that the cab door hinges changed?

Help! :?

I dont think so mate , But if I had a 68 i would be using 68 year parts , 8)

Rear hatch will not fit, hinge position changed in '72
Engine lid will not fit, different hinges
Can't give a definative answer on the others but I think JK sell a kit to convert hinges to use lates on earlies

Thanks for input so far

Would ideally prefer to use '68 parts, but want to get it on the road as cheaply as I can, and worry about being authentic for the year another day. There's a lot more late bay parts around... and I happen to have some...
