Door won't unlatch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '73 with a '75 passenger door on it, and I can't get the thing to unlatch so I can remove the door. I've hosed it down with WD-40 from all possible directions, tapped & bumped with my fist for vibration, pried (not too hard) with a big screwdriver, and tried it from inside and out. It's only half-latched, in other words not completely shut, but it refuses to budge. It's not locked. Anybody got an idea how I can get this thing open without destroying it?
