NOS van door :)
picked up an NOS passengers side rear barn door for a 1987 E150-350 today and it wasn't even at a flea market. an old friend is closing down his business and it had been on the shelf. he specialized in North American light trucks and vans from 1982ish until this year. he hasn't taken anything new in since March. I noticed it on a pile of doors that looked like they were awfully close to a scrap metal bin. he said to take it now, don't wait because it was going into the bin. he did not need to twist my arm!
I actually worked for this guy on weekends when I was in highschool but he never paid me a cent, I took payment in parts for my 72 F250 I had at the time. the door is stashed in the rafters of my dad's brand new barn now.
I don't have a home for it yet as all my vans have windows but you never know

New Old Stock.
brand new part that's been living its life on a shelf never been kissed LOL.
sometimes you can get them still in the box , but that usually only happens with small parts as they can sit on a shelf.
in my avatar there a lot of burnt NOS 67-79 Ford truck parts.

The best part about anything NOS in almost any field of repair/restoration is it makes great trade fodder! 
My growing inventory of NOS or nearly new perfectly serviceable parts for E-Series from '97 forward gives me confidence that for as long as I'm driving one anything hard-to-find and pricey can usually be found in my garage. Along with various instrument clusters I'll soon have a VGC non-tilt steering column from the '00 I own---its being DIY replaced with the tilt wheel version.
I'm kinda sorta looking locally for all six hinged doors, even one at a time.
Anyway great score on your door----those can't be that plentiful these days!
