James,
I know the doors are not totally swapable between a roadster and GT. But
quite a few of the internal parts are. One of the big differences is the
vent window and the glass. But the basic door skin itself may be
interchangeable. You would probably be better just getting a used BGT door
as they are probably not too costly.
I have a couple of extra BGT doors in my garage I'd be glad to part with,
but since I am in Montana, there is probably distance involved. I still may
have to scavenge a few internal parts though, like the window regulater
(for my 72B), but otherwise I doubt I will need them anytime in the
foreseeable future.
