Yes and no. Below the molding is the same, above is not. The vent window assembly and window for the HT are different from the convertible. The convertible upper is the same as as a '63, since they did not change it when they went to the '64 roof line. Similarly, the windshields for the HT and convertible are different. The '64 HT vent window assemblies are unique, and are like the proverbial hen's teeth.Jim Bradley

I am no expert on this. but the Hardtop and Conv. Doors should have extra/different reinforcement up front "this would be to support the Wing Window Assembly". if it were a Sedan Door,I feel a little re work/mod would also work

I agree with Rerun. I have both models of '64 ( J & L ) and the doors are the same. The VENT windows differ. As for sedan doors the sills are different as the top of a J or L has the pot metal trim and a corresponding lip to mount it. The window regulators are also way different with a lot more pieces on the J & L.

Hi Rob, if I'm getting this right. You're saying the outer door skin "skin only" is shaped different on top between sedans and the others?

I wasn't aware of the "lip" that you mention. Are you able to tell from the pictures above whether that particular door would be a J/L or F type?Jim Bradley

I just realized what Rob is talking about. the Door in the pics above is for Sedans. "as it is flat across the top surface front to rear",HT and Conv. has a flange about 1/2" tall across the top surface front to rear.
