Does any know if 75 series rear doors from a troop carrier fit a 73 series mwb? Or are they different.
What else body wise will swap over?
Cheers

middy doors are shorter than a troopy, doors and forward should all fit i think

Rear doors and front doors and firewall are different. Forward of the windscreen should all be interchangeable b/t troopy and 73.

Front or rear doors? If front, must have been off a Ute or another 73/74, rear could have been off a 70, 77 or 73/74.

The difference in the doors is the middy,bundy ones and the utes are the same, they have a square corner on the leading edge of the door.
When you step away from 75's and go into 78's the leading top corner is rounded which is the same as the troopy.
As for rear doors "NO" troopie doors will not fit a mid wheel base, as they are longer in the glass section, but everything from the glass down will fit.
I used a set of troopie doors to cut down for half doors.

Hardtop Bundy's have the same front doors as the troopy. I assume the 'fun toy' (soft top) models have square edged doors ala 75 Ute.
i.e. anything with separate windscreen surround (foldable/removable) has the square edged front doors.

Thanks for the replies.
What would be the best solution to fix a rusted windscreen surround on a mwb?
Another 2nd hand one or fibreglass?

Do a search on the fiberglass windscreen surround - a thread recently found plenty of people weren't happy with them (leaky, windscreen not fitting, cracking etc). General consensus was to replace it with a second hand one - they do cost a bit though! Not many good ones around anymore.

wouldn't touch the fiberglass one for all the tea in china. They are warped when you pull them out of the box, the bolt holes don't line up, they crack very easily and a very expensive for what you get.
I should have in the not to distant future brand new windscreen frames for sale (Steel ones not rubbish)
Stay tuned for updates.
