Like the heater, the doors are invaluable after you discover you needed them. A pair of doors, 2 side curtains and a tarp are probably worth a couple of hundred dollars. The steel parts needed are a bunch of 'footman' loops around the body to attach the straps to; a tarp arch; 2 short bars to go over the doors; a c-channel along the top of the windshield; and some little turn-buttons for the fronts of the doors. The plastic windows will almost always be yellowed and/or cracked.

Looks like a Cdn3. The rear axle is the latest type. The rest of the photos don't show the details needed to determine. Take a shot of the insides of the frame just over the rear springs at the front hangers. You can also take a shot of the front brake backing plates.

Axles could be swapped between the years, but it wasn't quite that easy. The rear axle of a Cdn3 was a larger diameter, so you also had to replace the U bolts and the plates, so with that in mind, your is likely a Cdn3. The frame photo will tell for sure.
