I have an old shed I built several years ago. The swinging doors are
hard to open. The opening is 8 feet wide and around 80 inches tall.
Would a garage door fit? Would it be hard to install? (I built this
shed out of 2 inch sqwuare tubing by the way. Wood sideing.

Even if you could do it, you would lose probably 12 inches or so
headroom. No problem if you're a midget.

| Consider keeping the existing doors and remounting them on new heavy-duty
hinges.
Probably could do it without having to unmount the doors.
You could mount an overhead, not that difficult, but because of the opening
height, you would need to use a short radius top kit (allows the door to
move closer to the ceiling when space is at a premium.) Also the door and
track would have to be modified for the lower height opening.
