My Bilco doors that lead to the basement leak at the top edge.

The doors are the metal jamb type and the exterior of the house is brick

Well First Try That Number, If They Can't Help , You Can't Still Get A Metal Door(prehung Unit) It Will Be Special Order, Since The Height On The Door Will Most Likely Be Undersized. A New Door Will Be Taller.
If You Go This Route You Can Have A Door Built To That Frame, You'll Need Brick To Brick Measuments And From The Header Or Brick Linel Down To The Concrete Floor.
As Far As Attaching This 3/4 Boards Will Be Screwed To The Inside Of The Brick To Give You Something To Nail To When You Install It.
As Far As Removing The Door Jamb, Use A Sawzaw And Cut It In The Middle And Pry It Out. You'll Be Left With Some Holes On The Concrete Floor From The Jamb Just Pour Those Holes Full, Most Of Which Will Be Covered Up By The New Door
Hope That Helps
