Door Swap

I’m replacing a bent driver side fender and drivers door from a ‘99 E-350 with a good driver side fender and drivers door from a ‘92 E-150.
(I will probably end up replacing all six doors on the van).

On the doors should I pull the hinge assembly off of the van frame and replace it with the door or should I pull the door off of the hinge assembly and leave the hinge assembly on the frame?
