Default 1968 vs 1969 door compatibility question/69-up doors wanted

What's the compatibility of C3 doors? Can I put 1969 doors (complete) on my 1968? What about 70 and later?

GF doesn't have the hand strength to push the button and open the passenger side, and I don't like the pushbutton either.

My latches, locks, power windows, all of it works but needs a refresh and re-key.

I'd rather simply swap out some 1969 doors COMPLETE. Power windows, trim, latches, locks, keys everything. Color is unimportant provided rust is none or minimal. Gonna be repainting the nose anyway,

Anybody got any complete doors to sell, or restoring a 1968 and want to BUY original '68 doors, assuming I find some later ones? LeMans blue. Paint is a 9/10 on driver side, 7/10 on passenger.

Cheers

Just remember that convertible doors are different, they have an extra pocket in the rear for the jamb support.

I working on a 68 that I purchased several years ago. It had 74 doors on it at that time they fit good but I had a pair of 68 doors from previous vehicles so I put them on. They fit just like the 74 doors. So yes they are interchangeable. The 68 doors I put on was from a convertible I’m working on a t-top all I had to do was change the glass.
