For Larks, I am pretty sure that '59 and '60's are interchangeable, but I cannot remember about '61's and '62's.[:I][?] I know for sure that '63 and up are different.

The '61 and '62 Larks only have doors common to '59-'60 4dr. in the FRONT, not REAR! [:0]

The mouldings are different of course, wider on '61-'62 and different location on '61 so some or all holes could be wrong.

As Mark said, NO '63's or newer will work.

Late '55 with wraparound windshield though 1958 4dr. sedans also have the same front doors, But more moulding changes than Larks. Modified 12/15/07 7:34 PM PST.

rear doors IF they are short wheelbase 4dr.'s ("W" Body) on body tag on firewall. But more moulding changes than Larks.

Wrong! Unless you're going to get out the Sawzall and trim away a small arc at the lower rear corner so it clears the wheel opening due to the Larks's shorter wheelbase!![:0]
