Keith,  The doors aren't but there is a two part wedge that stiffens the body 
when the door is closed.  I don't have a set in front of me, but I remember a 
metal (brass or bronze???) plate that was screwed to the door jamb at the top 
to mate with a black piece that was screwed to the door.  When the door 
closed the two pieces made the door a stiffener for the body at the lower window 
line.  The coupes and sedans had a roof for the same job.  If  you are working 
on a convertible and can't find parts let me know.

I think that I heard somewhere that convertible doors are different as well.
Is this true?

 '67 4 doors are therefore unique - as there were no
68-69 4-doors. The '67 2 door doors are also different
than the '68-9 doors, as the '68-9 doors have a
different detail around the lock knob. The '68-9's
have a "bulge" around the hole.
