The inner structure is different. I've drilled all the spot welds out & then tacked & migged the early inner structure to what was left of the 75+ inner structure, at the lwr weatherstrip line. After proper splicing & grinding the welded area, the weather strip will hide the repair. This process is a super PITA, even with the right tools. Personally, I would like to go all the way to the lower seam door skin to inner frame jamb, but that is even harder.
Basically what I've found on really nice cars, easier in the long run, to just to pay the piper for #1 condition early doors or pay for nos door skins & have them correctly installed on your solid '70.5 -74 door shells.
