Re: idea i was playing around w/doors
You would have to work out a filler not too unlike what you cut off and use a modified Blazer weatherstrip to convert your doors to a semi-frameless style retaining the vent assembly. The only benefit would be with the doors open and the windows rolled down. There will be no real visual change except up close. Up they are going to seal poorly and likely leak. They will leak at any sort of car wash and the wind noise can be surprising loud. Theft protection is even worse than stock as well. On the Blazer they made sense to accommodate the removable and soft tops. The roadster/topless version just capped the top of the door shell all together. Plymouth/Dodge Traildusters and Ramchargers only ran the semi-frameless one year then went with a full frame window to correct the many inherent problems of this design. Chevrolet gave up in '75.
