I think the door handles are different,inside interior panels are different.Otherwise they should be about the same.

2nd Gen Firebird doors...The proper year break should be:

-'70 1/2-74
-'75-81

The difference is in the inner structure where the early doors had a different style inner door handle. Inner sheetmetal panel was stamped differently to accept this different door opening handle. Besides the inner structure difference, early 2nd Gen doors had bolt-in window regulators, while latter style were held in with big alum rivets.

Outer door handles went from long to short style, believe in mid '77.
