Doors Hitting Fender
 
The doors are hitting the front fenders ever so slightly and I havnt been able to find the procedure for setting up the clearances for the door to fender gaps. Anyone kindly point me in the right direction?

Guessing I'll be turning this and a few other bolts, alignment to cab pillar looks off:

Your fender just needs to come forward. Loosen that bolt in the jamb, one at the bottom (on the backside of the fender), one at the top of the cowl, an it should move. I would loosen the two that hold the back of the inner fender to the cab as well (the 9/16" bolt heads inside the wheel well, pointing to the cab)
