The 73 I bought came with a couple of windows and a Cobra King drivers side door (CV92403L). I havent tried removing the existing door and fitting it to the cab but have read some not so flattering reviews.

Anyone have any experience with these Taiwanese doors?

If they are junk, what replacement doors would you recommend?

Thanks

Uuuuuuh I know this doors, a friend of mine bought a set of them. We made driver side fit with bending and squeezing and grinding on the hinges. On the passenger side door we had to cut the window frame and weld it back on with a different angle. Took us 7 hours to fit the damn junk doors.

LMC sells premium doors, haven't heard anything bad about them yet.

I work for Auto Metal Direct, we sold those doors for years. It's a 50/50 shot if they'll fit ok or not, but they're lighter/not made as well as the OEs. They were the only squarebody door on the market for like 20 years. We tooled up our own versions a couple years ago that are made to OE specs and thickness. They've sold like hotcakes and everybody (including a few close friends) has said they worked well with minimal tweaking to fit the truck. Squares are not known for having good build quality so you may still have some tweaking to do but you'd be hours ahead starting with nicer doors.
