Converted 66-67 doors to 68-77

[mikeiam82]

When I bought my bronco it was advertised as a 68, i didnt know enough at that time to see the tell tales that would have informed me otherwise. It was a 69 frame, 66 or 67 body with a 68 regi. None of this mattered to me because im building a resto mod that is far from stock. I didnt realize at the time that the 66-67 doors used a different latch assembly and i only found this out after i bought a 73 tub and the latch holes were different. Long story short i acquired some junk 69 up doors and cut the needed parts out to modify my otherwise mint doors. I figured you guys might like to see so here are the pics.

Great job..!!

I'm not big on cutt'n speaker holes but as far down as you have these doors., this would be a good time to do so, if that's a consideration.

Im not sure what im going to do for speakers yet, there are lots of options. I need new door panels so speaker pod door panels would be ok. they are far from the stock look but the bronco isnt going to be stock. Need to be able to bolt the doors to my body so i can start to align all the panels and do bodywork, the holes may still get cut before paint.
