220cummins Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) My question is about the bottoms of the B model doors sticking out past the body line. The doors were originally the same way before they came off. I can get anymore alignment out of the hinges. The hinges are correct and were re-bushed. Did some come from the factory like this? Is that how they are supposed be? the stick out about an 1/8" all along the bottom of the door passed the rocker panels. Thanks,220cummins Edited February 18, 2008 by 220cummins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks,220cumminsThis fitment is common without modifying either the door shell, or the hinges, or both. There is no detriment that I see as the door skin/shell does compress the perimeter gasket for a seal to weather.All of my trucks are as you mention.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
