Rear doors on a '69-'75 Travelall

This is the same on the pre-'69 Travelalls: the torsion bar is there, and
it will close the tailgate all by itself, when the glass isn't in the
tailgate!

Well, the one that I'm talking about is in a junk yard--so you just
might be able to *get* those doors (I can't remember if you're in
Colorado...).  Actually, I am now (of course) not quite *positive*
that it had doors, but I do think that it did.  I also don't remember the
condition they (the back doors) were in, but nothing terrible about
them sticks out in my memory....  I will be making a trip up there (to
the junk yard) some time in the next few weeks (or, maybe, months), and
will be glad to check for you, if you wish.

Good luck!
