'49-'51 Ford Doors Question

Are coupe and sedan doors the same on '49-'51 Ford shoebox 2 door models?

 

I believe the doors are the same through 49-51 though the latch mechanisms and handle splines differ specifically 49-50 and possibly also 51

 

Outside Door latch and handle and striker area are different on 49. The 50 and 51 are the same. The interior handles window crank and door latch handle are different all 3 years. Picked up a nice NOS set of 49 interior handles just to find out they will not work on the 50. Same outside shape but square and pinned.
An old friend of mine once told me that he traded his 49 in on a 50 just so he he didn't have doors that flew open.

 

Yes, coupe and Tudor doors are the same.

 

Specifically the 49 had a square peg for interior handles where as 50-51 had splines

 

Thanks for all of your info!

 

confirm: "49 doors fly open on turns !!!!!

 

I will vouch for that my 49 woody had a bad habit of either door flying open when going around a corner normally giving any passengers a lively experience

 

I have sold a lot of latches to Shoebox guys to fix the poor stock latches!
