What's there to say on the subject? Remove door hinge bolts from the door frame (support door in open position on a step stool or stand) once bolts come out the door is off. If your door has power windows/locks/speakers, be sure to disconnect the wires first.
What are your concerns - happy to help if I can?

If you have good paint on the truck, put a couple of layers of painters tape on the door edges and cab to prevent scratches as you man-handle the door into place.

And, make sure the truck is parked on hard level ground.
A pal of mine with a 1955 T-Bird learned this the hard way, had the car on jack stands while he was repainting it. Didn't mark the hinge bolt locations.
It took him 4 days to align the doors and by this time, the new paint surrounding the doors had some chips in it.
It also had a new dent in the right front fender where the owner kicked it in frustration.
