What doors fit a SIV GT?

The drivers door skin on my 1964 SIV GT is dented so badly I think it will be easier to replace it than to repair it. I have not been able to find a GT door (round Corner) so I am thinking of picking up a standard round corner door and modifying it to except the GT door trim or taking the skin off of it and putting it on my door. My door functions fine just the skin is stretched. So, will a SI, SII, SIII, or SV door fit or are they not interchangable?

series 1 and 2 doors can not be used since they have a different window regulator and windows and are different in that they have no provisions for the wing windows. series 3 and series 4 doors with round corners will fit but not series 5 doors since they are square corner. GT doors have the brackets welded to hold the GT panels since the panels cover the entire door.

Mike, here is a shot of the two types. The GT is on the top with the ST on the bottom. Look for the tabs around the inside perimeter. These are also square cornered doors. Please note the placement of the window crank. The '64 is in a lower position than what would be on the the square type.

I have a badly rusted series IV that will end up in the scrap yard eventually. The drivers door skin is useable though. Where are you located? I am in sw VA.
