I've done this swap twice over the decades, seeing that you've source a few rusty hardtops, let them be the donor car for the parts you'll need, post side glass has to go, you'll need all the donor door internals/glass/guide frames/vent windows/etc as well....all the structure/braces/glass/etc from the quarter window, the roof channel moulding to hold the glass/roof seal from the hardtop, plus you'll need to cut/trim the upper portion of the rear door jamb so the qtr rubber seal and rear qtr glass can wind down, there a few other tid bits you'll need, so best to have a donor....stick with 69-70 donors, the 68 is slightly different in regards to glass window vertical seals/glass, guides in the doors and qtrs/ regulator mounting holes/etc...not worth the hassle dealing with a 68 model yea only
