Really want two piece door cards for a 66 squareback I'm working on. Anybody know if they'll work after 65?

No. Early two piece door panels require the wrap around plastic pieces that secure to the door just over the top edge of the early upper door card. Your 66 doors will not have the provision for these wrap around pieces. You'd also need a wrap around dash pad.
Since your 66 dash is not a wrap around dash, you could make your own upper door cards a bit taller to compensate for the area where the early plastic wrap around pieces would go. Also the early arm rest bolts directly to the door, where your 66 armrest bolts directly to the one piece door card. I guess it could be made to work, but its definitely not a direct fit. There will be mods and fab work to your doors.
