Im pretty sure that it's illegal to run without doors... Jeeps can get away with it because the door doesnt go down to the floor there is like 6 inches of metal blocking stuff from falling out of the tub...
Don't take my word for it tho....

Tailgates, except on vehicles where the tailgate gives access to the passenger compartment, may be replaced with wood planking, nets or other material that will prevent loss of load.

Don't do it, it's pretty much pointless on the street. I did it quite a few years back and regret doing it since the doors would never line up correctly 100%. You'll be a sitting duck if someone accidentally side swipes you.

if you want to take them off just do it. Rock it and have a good time and deal with the fun police if they have an issue. what would they ticket you for? just some small fine and having to get you truck reinspected or something like that i would guess.
