from the outside or inside(once the door card is in)is there any visible difference.i`ve got a mint pair of later doors,and parts are impossible to find and real expensive to ship in ireland

the door latch mechanism is differant. size is same-they bolt on.. the latch was changed but maybe the opening on door edge could be opened and screw locations redrilled.. wont have bib around door panel area.

So are you asking about non ribbed doors going on your 53? If so you can use the 56 door strikers and you can only use 3 of the 4 screw hole but it will work.
