Bart,
1937-40 coupe doors are identical as far as the exterior skin, hinge locations, latch and dovetail locations but with the exception of the outside door handle mounting area, which is basically the same for 1937-39. More differences are on the inner door surface re; window regulator mounting hole locations, inner garnish moldings, etc. but can all be found and used. 1940 had vent windows which required provisions and mounting brackets for the vent division bar.

1937-40 sedan delivery and fordor sedan front doors seem identical, but they have a little more lip at the very top-rear corner to match the longer roof line, however I've seen modified sedan delivery and fordor doors be made to work on coupes just fine. 1937-40 tudor sedan doors are out, as they are considerably longer horizontally.
