Question: I've got a chance to buy a very nice power windows/power door lock wiring & regulator setup & door panels/interior pieces from a 1967 4 door Bonneville. My question is will the regulators & door panels interchange with a 1967 4 door Catalina post car? My interchange book doesn't say... I know the trim pieces between the two cars are different and the center post trim is not the same, but if the power regulators are the same & the door panels will go on the car I've got a pretty good deal...

In a word: Yes.

To be sure measure the length and height of the glass with the post car to make sure the Bonneville is the same. If not just use the windows from the post car. The motors will bolt right on, at least that is my experience.

The Bonneville had a 2" longer wheelbase and a longer overal length but that extra was all in the quarter panels. They are the same under the trim. Good luck

Oh definitely, I'm keeping the glass in the post car because I know it's different. Was mostly concerned that the power window regulators of a hardtop were different than the power window regulators of the post, but it sounds like they are the same. And since the door panels are the same too I can spruce up the interior and make it nice again.

Good luck, let us know and see how it comes out.

Wouldn't the panels be notched for the posts on the door and front of quarter window?

Ben did you ever find the answer to your Post/HT power Regulator question? What i know so far is they are different and will not fit. I have also realized that Post Power Regulators are different for 67 and 68 front, rear do swap.

From what I gathered, some said they would, others said they wouldn't. Looking at the rare pictures I saw, they *looked* the same for the rears but the fronts were different because of the glass shape differences - does that mean they wouldn't work at all or would just require transferring door innards? I don't know. I ultimately did not buy the parts because I didn't want to drop $600 on something I couldn't use. And now I have a '68 post that already has power windows so I didn't need them.

On the fronts they don't I'm certain. Tried fitting 67 and 68 4dr HT regs but the regs back plates are different. For 68, the regs from a Post/Wagon were modified with different scissors and the bottom adjustable sliders were positioned different due to the scissor change. Had to hunt down some 67 post/wagon regs and they fit to a tee. I now have a few 68 parts I need to get rid of!!
