Budd had a lot of experience in all-metal construction from streamlined corrugated railroad cars. The doors were obviously a separate contract from the bodies (wasn't Briggs doing the 41 - 2 bodies). The investment in tooling to convert the doors would be much lower than changing the big body stampings
