Interesting, you're planning half doors on this build? I never would have guessed that one, and I'm not sure I get it. Aren't you planning to use a half top? Don't you live in Southeast Pennsylvania? ...or just Pensylvania in general.
These things all seem at odds with half doors:
If you were building a roadster I might get it,
If you were not doing a body off I might get it,
If you were doing a big lift and 44s I might get it,
If you were under 30 I might get it,
If you were in the southwest I might get it,
If you didn't have to deal with Pensylvania vehicle inspections I might get it,
Now I'm all about goofy details, but I'm just not sure I think this one fits your build. I think it may limit where and when you'll want to use the truck too much.
That said, if you were to go down that path, I'd personally consider using it as an opportunity to add some ridgidity to the body and weld the door bottoms in, and probably stylise the opening instead of simply just a lower half of a door. Kind of like the old Scout open door option:
