67-68 door striker and latch differences

[LoneRanger]

66 67 have one variety and 68 and up have differences in the doors. Can anyone tell me if the 67' doors will work on 68 and up strikers? (Im thinking not) is this just a swap to the correct striker? Do the striker mounting holes line up between the early years and the later ones?

help is appreciated. WOuld love to see some pics of the differences (side by side so to speak)

66/67 are round posts rather than oval, and they are about 3/4" higher up on the B pillar.

Different strikers and latches and different locations. The only way to swap between the two is to cut and weld to relocate things.

Agreed.
Don't do it. One of the biggest hack jobs you can do on a Bronco.
