Can't speak from experience, but I'm pretty sure the doors remained the same throughout production.

i believe they are structurally the same, but gm has changed the hinge locations slightly over the years so it may require a little welding to make work.

Re: Doors for 1996 fit older van?
When I tried to fit `97 doors on my `86 the gaps were uneven all around. Stick with early style doors for an early van and later style doors for a new model van, don`t mix and match.
