What I need is inside. The plates on the top of the doors at the back corners along with screws & the sheetmetal that the screws run into down inside (requires drilling out the spot welds). Also, the rear window channel upper support. The rear window channel in the doors unbolts from inside the door, but all I'm looking for is the upper support which will also have to have the spot welds drilled out. The picture attached shows these brackets (one per side).

If your upper windshield frame is good, I'd take that off your hands as well. Just cut it with a sawsall or hack saw about 6" down.

I want the brackets from inside the doors and the window frame to scan in (we have a 3D laser scanner at work) to possibly make reproduction pieces for this. The brackets from the doors would also allow me to convert a set of doors for my '74 without tearing into the doors that are on it now.

Its the channel down inside the door at the back of the window. The 'S' curved brackets in the picture are the upper mount to the window channel. I know that there is no upper window support.

The HVAC systems changed quite a bit over the years. Nothing is impossible, but I'm not sure I would recommend going backwards. I will be swapping the HVAC system, dash, and pretty much all wiring from my '90 Suburban to my '74.

I wish I had taken pictures of the window channel I refurb'd on my '74. The one in my truck was broke off in the middle so the window would fall out of the channel about half way down. I had a few spare pickup doors and grabbed a regulator & rear channel from it. Compared the channels, cut, drill, weld, and reassembled. Workin' great!

I'd like the black plate that is in your picture along with the bracket that it mounts to underneath as shown in the picture below:

The window track at the back of the door is visible in that picture as well. The upper support on the window track at the back of the door is fastened with the bolt that is towards the center of the door in this picture:
