Pretty sure the 72 window cranks are longer than the earlier years, but you may still be able to use the 71 door panels. Someone should be able to tell you for sure.

If you use the '71 panels, your window crank will stick out - ( I tried it). You can replace them with a '70 or 71 crank and it will work fine.
