No. '88 is a late one, '83 is early ... ne'er the twain shall meet.

What year did they change and how can you tell which you have?
I need another door and want to get the right one.

Re: sliding door q??
the pressing of the handle area on an early door is much bigger than that of a late one, change over around 84 / 85

Be good if there were pics of both types in the WIKI as this question comes up a heck of a lot of times

Re: sliding door q??
I was going to ask the same thing.... is the wood/hole relationship different on early and late
It is by will alone that I set my 'van' in motion!
