Paul is correct.
All of the door panels from 1970-80 interchange. 71-76 had the chrome
strip. 1970 had the same pattern but without the strip. 77-80 are
easily identified as the window winder has a circle around it.
The 68-69 panels can be installed, but are held on with screws, not the
plastic clips.
1973-80 doors had the internal strengthening anti-burst bar, but there
were no changes to the door handle openings.
