door panels (details)

We have this thread on the 1974 front driver door lower pocket:

and this thread on police-style upper door panels:

This thread is a catchall for everything else.

-------------------
Brougham:

The Brougham had fancier upper door panels (with a door pull) and lower door panels (with carpeting), like:

-------------------
Lower panels:

In the 74 parts catalog, page IT-34 shows that the lower panels are the same for 41/43/45/46 (4-door sedan, 4-door hardtop, station wagons):




So it looks like were 2-sizes of lower panel sizes:
a) those for 2-doors
b) those for everything else (all 4-doors: hardtops, sedans, s/w)

Here's a 2-door:

-------------------
Upper panels:

2-door had their own unique upper panels (longer).
For both front and rear, sedans and s/w used the same panel, but the 4-door hardtop used its own unique part number.



It appears that the reason for the different part number is that the 4-door hardtop required a panel of a different size to mate against the lower b-pillar. Here's a pic showing how TK extended a rear sedan upper to fit his 4-door hardtop:

TK doesn't mention about the fronts being of different shape or size (sedan vs. 4-door hardtop), but I'm guessing there's some difference based on the parts catalog showing different numbers.

In the door pocket thread, I made some comments/questions about the Brougham carpeting on the lower door panels.

I was talking with 74FP, and he relayed that the lower door panels for Broughams and non-Broughams are all the same, just with carpeting glued on the Brougham panels. If you take the carpeting off, you're left with the same ridges and such as a non-brougham.

Here's a photo of my '75's power door lock actuator/indicator; the same as on my former '74.
