Adding removable door window frames to later doors

I have a '68 with removable door window frames. My drivers door need to be replaced, but the window frame is usable. It seems that it should be quite simple to drill out the window frame spot welds on a newer door and replace the window frame with the removable one from my '68 door. Is there anything unexpected I need to know about this conversion?

just have the door fitted on the bronco when you do it so the frame can be fitted to not hit the top when closing. also so it does not sit too low in the door too. make sure the window rolls all the way up. otherwise, seems straight forward. there will be some rough edges when you are done though. can't you buy a brand new door without the frame?

yep. bronco graveyard, part #14055. $329. probably the best way to go unless you can find a nice set of 68 doors.

Yes it will work the only problem I ran into it sometimes the spot welds that you drill out will not match up with the place you have to go through to your removable frames. But it's a pretty straightforward job you have to make sure you get the inside metal from the old frames removed for it to fit properly.
