    More or less

    Some minor door panel differences include different holes for power/manual windows, Holes for Grand Coupe only woodgrain trim and emblems and emblem holes for the word 'CUDA on all 'CUDAs.

    The main difference on the door skins is 'CUDAS got little studs welded to the top of them for the door top chrome. All 'CUDAs got the chrome except for AAR 'CUDAs...

    The 1970 doors / door panels have more holes for panel clips too.

    Most 1970 parts are unique to that model year.

    If I recall correctly, the 70 door window sweep trim is mounted with spring clips and the 71 and up are mounted with screws.  So the 70 will have a slot vs. a hole in the metal.

    That's correct. I'm in the process of using my dremel and trying to convert a '73 door to a '70. I'd love to have a used door sweep to check my slots before I grind off too much material.

    Speaking of door trim, is there a source for the chrome door trim for a 70 Cuda? Ebay has been a pretty good source for us in regards to other parts but I am wondering if there is a better source.  :ebay:
