No sir, different door latch designs.
You need a 68 and up door.

The latch & striker plates actually
changed in '67. At least one of the
members [Ben] has done this swap.
Finding a '67 or later door would
certainly be the easiest route.

I said 68 cause it would have the same interior handles.

I'd love to know how to do this too. I've got a great pair of '68 doors I want to put on my '66 but I'm hung up on the hardware.
