The cutout on the blue panel is slightly different than the cutout on the red panel.

Well, that's about the only thing these old eyes see as being different.  You've seamed things slightly different between the two doors but the end result comes out the same.  

 

That's it, I've shot my wad......

I don't see the 2 welds on the window uprights or maybe they are higher up.

 

those were only on the passenger side where I had  to gain some space and took out a 1/16" or so.

 

 

might need to look at the side view of the panneger side for a bigger hint...

Both door inner panels appear to be swapped - right is now on the left, etc. 

 

As for the difference between the photos, the plywood that was sitting between the roll up and man doors is missing in the drivers side photo. ?

 

Also, it looks cold outside.

Wow!  That was way to subtle for me to have been able to figure out ?

I was looking at this point here, curious what was mounted there in the past ... was different from the other side but not worth mentioning.

That area had some spot welds to a bracket/gusset on the hinge support that lives on the front of the door.  Oddly this B1 door (red) did not have that support bracket/gusset like the B2 door on the passenger side (yellow).  Can see below where I had to add back panel material for the front window channel once the door was flexed into its new shape.

It was in the high 80s here today. That purple color out the MN window above is giving me chills... "don't ya know".

Cut out the B1/2 inside door window sill details and replaces with bit from the donor doors for the project.  I am especially proud of the driver side.  No warp or heat deflection!  Passenger side I got a little over zealous with the hammer and dolly in 2 spots prior to grinding the welds down.

And now driver side...always funny that the 2nd time thru takes 1/8 the time!    And seats at least set in the cab.

 

 

 

That's because you know what tools you're going to need, you know what steps to take, what to do and most importantly what NOT to do!  

 

Looking good.

Front doors now latching.  It's had to see the strike area but I welded in a 1/8" plate and blended to the jamb (some mud will help fill in the places that look ugly) and rounded and smoothed for a "original" look.
