I've done a little research on this. Here's what I've found.
Rules of Thumb for late model 2-door (coupe and conv) hinges:
* ’65 – ’66 will interchange between years, upper hinge will
interchange side to side
* ’68 – ’69 will interchange between years
* ’67 is the mongrel – upper hinges will interchange with 68 – 69 –
Lower hinges are unique to ‘67

You can also see an interchange chart I put together here:
