Door/Body Panel Interchange

I started and drove my 85 yesterday for the first time since September (yay!).
Once l got it into the garage, l noticed that the passenger door is a little more rumpled than l remembered... seems like a replacement door is in order..
An 85, regular cab w manual locks/windows is what l need, but will a door from a Bronco work? Are the Super Cab (extended cab) doors the same? (some makes use a shorter door). What year range, 80-86?

If you go to www.car-part.com and look up a full size Bronco and plug in a front door, truck doors come up. So they should fit. Here are the different choices they list when looking for a door, 1980 thru 1986.

I'm only just now starting to dig into this thing, so l haven't even had the door panels off yet.

The daydreaming phase has run it's course... time to spin wrenches.

BTW, car-part.com confirmed that my local yard, and a couple within 50 miles, have what I'm looking for... it'll save me from making a bunch of useless phone calls. Hell, it looks like my local yard still has the 83 that l pulled (underhood) parts off of last year.
