Brian,
I hate to sound like a Party Pooper, but please THINK for a moment.
 The 2-door DOORS are about a FOOT longer than the 4-door DOORS. 
Thus the sill is longer as well. 

In other words, NO FIT.

All 2-door (hardtop, sedan or convertible) Americans 1964-1969 use the same sill plates. 
The part number for these plates is the SAME PART NUMBER as for 1968-74 Javelins and AMXs, so they are easy to find (still available NEW).

The 4-door Americans (sedan & wagon) 1964-1969 vintage share their own sill plates. These sill plates are also easy to find as AMC made a LOT of 4-door Americans. I probably have some fairly nice ones from cars I've parted out.

I suppose the next question is what style of sill plates do you need? 
2-door or 4-door?

As I indicated earlier, the 2-door sill plates are still available NEW from Chrysler, and not too expensive.
