Removable window frame?

Can someone tell me what year doors had removable window frames?

Thanks

66, 67 and some 68's.

66 and 67 have a unique door striker. Does not interchange with the '68 to '77 without a lot of work.
'68 is the last year of the bolt on frame and first year of the modern doors.
Early doors used a rotate inside door handle.
Late doors used the flipper paddle handle in the armrest.

Or you can modify the ones you have, but it probably isnt worth it unless you do it all yourself. There are three or four spot welds on each side that support the window frame. Drill those spotwelds out, weld nutserts onto the frames and attach with a hex bolt or something else that is relatively flat. Then you get removeable window frames for a fraction of what those 68 doors will set you back (depending on condition)

Dude...my window frames are removeable!!! I had no idea. When I got my Bronco it had a couple wierd spot welds on the door but I didn't think anything of it. So if I drill these spot weld the frames are removable? Is it supposed to have bolts in it?

I was bored a week or so ago and decided to do it, here is the link to the thread.

Sounds good to me.

I removed mine years ago to save weight, took the glass, tracks, regulator, and window crank out. Next, the window opening is going to be welded up and they're going on my new glass tub. Makes a super clean look, don't forget to brace the windsheild frame to the cage.
