My recommendation would be try to save the doors you
have until you can find better ones for less than $800
or until you have the money available to buy new ones.
This way you will at least get to use your truck for a
daily driver and not have to wait until you have the
money to buy new doors. Many projects get put on hold
while waiting for funds. My approach is to make it
drivable and get the new parts you want as you can
afford them. When I got my truck, both front fenders
were in bad shape. I welded some new sheet metal in
them when I saw the price of new ones. Three years
later I found a pair of original fenders, in real good
shape, for $100. I also found a pair of inner fender
for $50. If I had waited until I had the money for
new fenders, the truck would still be sitting, this
way I get to drive when I want to, even though it is
not perfect, It's still fun to drive.
