"Later cars also have side impact beams in the doors. Later doors weigh a
good
bit more than early doors. So there are a few more pounds. Maybe twnety?"

Side impact beams?????

Are you talking about that piece of lightweight gauge metal channel under
the door skin?  It might protect from a runaway shopping cart in a parking
lot, but not much else!

The only doors I have dismantled were from '74 on and they were all the
same.  Further, BMH lists only one door for the entire model run.
