    I have a 1970 Skylard convertible. The question I have is the trunk lid and doors different than on a hard top?
    Thanks, Kraig

    Trunk lids for 70-2 are the same as 68-72 Chevelle and 70-2 Monte Carlo. You can buy new trunk lids from many sources for $175

    You have wrong info. Coupe and conv share same sheetmetal including: doors, fenders, hood(frt clip), trunk lid.

    Items different are rear qtrs because of conv mechanism, rear seats, rear side panels, chassis frame is boxed (coupe is C-channel), windshield, windshield trim.

    Ummm

    Door glass & side glass is different from coupe to convertible, and windshield also.

    Door glass is the same because the conv uses the same doors. Rear side glass for the conv is a conv-only item.
