Door Swap

Does anybody know if a door on a 1986 Berlinetta will fit a 1987 IROC Z28?

Thanks. Are the door dimensions the same? I have access to a parts car and would like to use the passenger side door. My parts car is a 1986 Berlinetta.

Just did a door swap, and it was pretty straght forward, the wires unplug inside the door and then just pull them out throgh the door flex grommet, they'll plug into the other as lond as the other door has the same options, otherwise you'll run into a whole other project of swapping the internals into the good door an easy feat in no way.

Took me about 2 hrs with the right tools, also the drivers side door has an obstruction blocking the bottom hinge bolt, it's just a power block that can easily be removed should only take a little prying. I used S-shaped gear wrenches on the top hinge and it made things a hundred times easier. Good luck.
