Should I uses these doors or find better?

I drug out my original doors today and stripped them down. I had planned on getting new ones but they way the repops fit I dont think I wanna go that route. The bottom lip is pretty good and the outer skins are straight. There is some rust in the inner corners. Otherwise surface rust. I would get them media blasted if I do use them. Are most doors like this or are there better ones out there used? What are your opinions. Thanks

You can probably find OEM doors that are perfect or close to it for the same price or less than repro's..look to the west shiping cots are not great, but it willstill be cheaper than trying to fix yours, or fit junk repros. You could save those ,but I alway's would prefer never rusted to "was" rusted.

Being in midwest rust area, it can be hard and expensive to find a nice set of doors, and it could depend on how you want your truck to look, if its just gonna be a driver, i would repair it, especially if you have the time, resources and ability.
