    Would the doors of a two door 72 Electra fit a 72 Centurion conv.? I've been trying to see how the lines go on the doors, and they look similar, but you never know for sure until you ask..???

    I'm pretty sure they're the same. The extra length in the Electra comes in the rear end.

    Good, I'll be going to a half price yard on Saturday where's there's a white two door Electra. I think the doors were ok, I'll just have to double check. I'm also looking into the exhaust manifolds, depending on if it's just a gasket leak or not I'm experiencing at the moment. Someone needed a wiper switch, if still interested, let me know by Friday.

    If you have a measuring tape handy, measure the length of the doors. Other than that, I am pretty sure they will interchange.

    There's one that's resident measurer in da toolobox.. I'm just worried about the line going in the middle of the door not continuing at the same area at the back, where the Electra and Centurion start to be different. I'm sure they were cost orientated even back then so they're probably the same.

    71-72 50 - 60- and 8000 series are the same numbers left and right.
