Can I use Metal door panel on '72 doors?

[jumpsoffrock]

I had plastic door anything. I think plastic looks cheap on old vehicles, even if it's factory. I also don't like "fancy" door panels such as the plastic or woodgrain door panels or inserts.

I like the plain jane metal door panels for their simplicity and strength. I have a 72 with same year doors, the plastic panels were basically chalk and garbage. I bought a set of nice restorable black metal panels without asking the questions.

Will they bolt to the door and fit? It is my understanding they weren't even offered that year, and that my crank handles may stick it farther than desired, but that isn't a problem to me, I'm not changing regulators just for that.

Thank you everyone.
