1936 Ford Doors
Someone told me that the front doors on a 1936 four door will fit a 5 window coupe. Can an expert out there let me know if this is correct or not ? thanks Tom

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
from looking at dimensions in '35-'36 book, doors look pretty good dimensionally, except the 5-window doors are 3/4" longer.....so might fit with some work.....good luck....Mike

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
I do not consider myself to be the expert you may be looking for on this, but I have always 'heard' that '35/'36 fordor sedan front doors will work on the same year 5w coupes with a little work (material removal?) on the upper corner area. I could take a look at my two avatar cars and see if I can tell what work may be required.

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
Tom-
As far as I know the only modification that is needed is a trimming in the upper corner (note picture). I have never done it and I am not sure where I got the picture so, I can't give you additional details. Hope this helps. Tom |

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
I used the 36 Fordor doors on my 36 5W Coupe with modifications to the top corner to fit. I also had to weld a piece on the back side of the edge of the top of the door to look the same as the coupe door.

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
Just something to know when lookin at doors if it matters to you.
I picked up a used LB interior for my 35 from a 36 The inside door handles are in different locations between the two years. |

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
I also used the fordor doors It can be done without a lot of headache. The back corners were the only difference. Good luck

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
Correct. The 35 door handle is near the front of the door and 36 is closer to the middle.

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
In '35 there were two different door handle positions, early vs. mid/late year production.

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
I am not sure what year my doors are but they had hole positions for both the forward and the middle window reg, so you could use either

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
My Fordor doors were from a 36 and they had both handle locations in the door itself as shown in photo.

Re: 1936 Ford Doors
A pair of 36 coupe doors just popped up on ebay, not mine. In California so freight could be a killer. Maybe Greyhound depending on where you live. UPDATE YOUR PROFILE
