Hi,
Think your problem is similar to that of everyone who has a 40 that needs body panels. Trucks that are being broken in Europe have usually suffered from rust which would include the rear doors.
You maybe better getting a second hand pair shipped from Oz:
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-parts-accessories/landcruiser+75+series+door/k0c18323
or you could try one of the USA reproduction part manufacturers:
http://citroa.com/toyota-land-cruiser/
Or Paul at Pilgrim Restorations in Costa Rice (although his specialty is 40s he may be able to help but he does make the body parts for several USA outlets)
Or it maybe worth a word with [email protected] but their really into 60s but are helpful people. (They are in Holland)
Their is a German company but having looked at their site they do not make rear doors and on some forums the thickness of the steel they use has been questioned.
Or a conversation with the people at http://www.megastore4x4.pt/ They do a lot of 70 series parts but don't list body panels but you never know.
So no definitive answers but maybe some things to get your search further along. When we started restoring our 40 we spent weeks/months & years searching the net and eventually found all the parts we needed.
Regards,

I don't know if the rear doors of the troopy have changed over the years. If not the rear doors of the current hzj78 will fit, check out for new doors at http://www.all-american.nl/ in Kaatsheuvel.
They are my favourite cruiser parts supplier.
