    Also would changing the windshield to 76+ make me have to look for Full doors from 76+ ?

    The doors go with the top. That is, they'll only fit the top they came with, properly.

    But beyond that, yes the hinges change.

    In addition to the stuff on the tech pages, there's lots of previous discussion of this - search!

    Don't know of any source for metal doors other than from a Meyer Cab. No current aftermarket source AFAIK.

    Steel Meyer Cabs are out there if you want steel doors. They aren't that scarce.
