Question door panels

Does anyone know if interior door panels from a 1985 will fit a 1980?

Im not exactly sure, but my guess is that they would. When my dad took his 79 apart, i looked at his door panels, and they looked like they would line up right with my 85's panels. Though you might want someone's word who actually tried the swap.

I just wish I could find some nice '80 door panels. The first owner of my car decided he wanted power windows, so he got the bolt on JC Whitney style crap. I took them off, but am left with the holes in the panels where the mounting hardware went through....

I have been watching for a while with no success. Between that and the center piece in the dash where the radio, ac, and switches go; I don't know which is more difficult to find. Silly silver dash pieces.
