They should bolt on but the lines will not match up.
Uni's have a slanted line connectiong the hood line to the bed line.
Standard doors have a small dip in the doorline under the vent window.

The doors match up at the leading edge of the door and at the trailing edge of the door. Uni doors are straight and all other doors have a dip in them. When we did the Raffle truck we used a non uni lower cab and front clip. Every thing lined up real good, door openings and body lines. We didn't realize the difference in the doors untill after it was painted. Personally I like the non uni doors better than the uni doors. By the way I have a really good set of uni doors if any one is interested

About 4 years ago almost bought a uni automatic truck,, it was suppose to be a 63, but then noticed it had wrong doors, then wrong title so left it person seller it claimed all originalbut did not know any better, even the steering column was made , took a tube from exhaust pipe, dented it to fit by the brake pedal welded a end on top which was so obvious...

when i brought home the f350 i ended up turning into my towtruck something kept bothering me, must have walked around it 5 times before i realized the uni door on the drivers side. big mirrors made it hard to tell.

even worse my 62 f350, one big wheel fender had been replaced with small one.

Like I said, they will not line up.
Makes the door look crooked on a Uni

Thanks for the input guys,it looks like i will get lower repair panels and sell these 64 doors,never thought about the dip in the body line,too obvious to notice.thanks again.

You're doing panel replacement either way why not just change the door line.
