Afaik..the doors should bolt on. Not sure the latches are the same, tho....but they may be. The '74 doors ARE much heavier...they have a steel beam in them that the earlier cars did not have.
You'll also need to modify the pillar/door jamb for the wiring conduit to pass thru(larger wire harness for the power windows).
