Will the flipper bar from a 51/52 hardtop work on a 53/53, or are they the wrong length, etc...?

I have to think the doors are not the same. The body style was new in 53. Also the flippers are only found on the 52 Hard Top and not the 51.

That line of thinking is entirely plausible and logical. I'm having a hard time finding flippers for the 53 but have run across two sets for the 52. Pain in the freakin' butt!!!
