As far as I'm aware, all Gen 1 doors are the same, except 66 doors had no spring assist. Interior panels different.

The big heavy doors on the 66 got a lot of complaints about how difficult to open and close them, so olds added spring assist. Main point is to keep doors lubricated properly.

Although a 69 door looks the same as a 70 door the seals are different don't know about other years.
