Since ORD doesn't have any pictures on there site, I figured I'd post a couple.

Original doors have taken a bit of a beating and they're heavy, especially with power windows.

I'll still run a full door in the winter, but visibility should be great with these.

Should I paint them silver or blue?
 
I had taken my doors off last weekend, and put tube doors on, and it was a huge diffrence. I could see everything.
 
Very cool, Can you take a close up pic of the latch assembly and post it?
 
So you built the cage and sub frame etc but bought the "doors" from ORD?
 
I love the looks of those doors, could you post some pictures of the hinges and latches? Haven't really seen a set of doors that have no bends in the pipes that actually looks good.

This is exactly why I love 'truggies' like this. All tube chassis or open top jeeps are great when it is 80 degres outside and sunny. They are not so fun when it is 30 below, or raining, or when you are covered in mud. A truggy like yours allows you to wheel no matter what the weather. In the summer , throw on your tube doors and go. In the winter, throw the factory doors back on and be nice and warm as you wheel. I love it. I want to build one like this some day.
 
$375, included the latches and hardware, door pins etc. Only issue with mine was that I had to drill the mounting hole for the door pin larger.
 
i say paint all the tubing blue and the truck silver, i love that color combo. sweet doors
