    Can anyone tell me if these doors will fit a 73 CJ5? Owner does not know what year they came from. Is there anyway to tell without trying them out?

    From the picture they look like there from a 76 and up . If they are then no. The slope of the windshield is more angled back on the 76 and up than on a 75 and down.

    I agree with Rusty. Look like '76 and newer to me from the pic.

    X3. Windshield angle slanted too far back to fit 75 and down.

    Those are definitely 76/newer. The older ones didn't have the 2 right angle pieces that slid into hinges as there were no hinges. The doorframes had a rod sticking down that was part of the doorframe which fit into a hole in the door opening. There was also a rail that attached to the windshield frame that the front of the doorskin slid up and into and then had snaps that sealed the doorskin to the front of the door opening. And as others have mentioned the windshield angle was different so they are not interchangeable.
