Door Panel Reproductions (1968 vs 1969)
Short answer: The only difference between 1968 and 1969 door panels is the door-lock-knob hole location — 1968 has it near the rear of the door; 1969 moved it about 9–10″ forward (a GM-wide change so drivers didn’t have to reach behind themselves). New Custom-trim panels are identical until that hole is punched.
So the cleanest path is a blank repro set punched for your year. Reproductions actually beat the originals here — they use ABS plastic instead of the original cardboard, which warps and rots when wet. Used panels only swap cleanly from the same year (1969 onto 1968 puts the lock hole in the wrong place).
