Okay so the disappointing fact is that the doors are not a direct fit due to the window frames but what else is different, if anything and could a guy cut & weld the ones from a suburban to lower pick up door?

You got it.The window frame is just spot welded in a couple of spots.Other than that I think they are the same.

Did that exact same thing last fall. Drilled out the spotwelds and switched the window frames. It worked perfectly.
