Acording to the info I have, yes. This goes for the front door hinges only, the rear hinges won't work to replace 2 dr hinges. Also, the hinges changed durring the 73 model year, both cars would have to be either before or after 7-1-73. The source I'm using is the Chrysler Muscle Car Parts Interchange Manual by Herd, it's not the final authority, I have found mistakes in this book. A body front door hinges seem to be the same from 67 to 7-1-73. I'm not sure, but I think they might have beefed up the hinge the same time they had to add the side impact bar inside the door in 73.

It should work fine. I've never done this with the A-body's but I have taken hinges off of 4dr Satillites to use on Roadrunners.

What is wrong with the original hinges? Unless they were damn near crushed by something they can be rebuilt.

The upper hinge on the drivers side , the holes are so elongated that the door drops 1/2 inch when opened.

My body man said they were beyond repair. Someone on this board offered me 4 door hinges, so I needed to know if they would fit.

Thanks for your input all.
