Door alignment = it kind of depends if you took the hinges off the cab pillars. If so, you may have to take a fender off to get it just right. I've attached the hinges to the doors then aligned the doors to the cab---windshield frame line, roof line, rear door line and bottom alignment. Then hook up the hinges to the pillars. Shim with wood and Tighten a bit at a time as you continue to line up the door. You can remove the latch to make things easier or just loosen it so it's kind of out of the way. Once that door closes super nice, then align the latch so that it just clicks in there. With the fender off, you will still have a in/out adjustment to make on the part of the hinge that actually attaches to the doors but before you do that--- body shops often drill a small pilot hole thru the hiinge and into the pillar. they do this before removal to aid hinge alignment upon reinstall. Neat trick, i do that now before removing hinges. All of the above refers to installing a perfect original GM door -- not sure how well the Tiwan doors line up (got 2 of them myself and waiting to install). If the hinges never came off of the pillars, you bolt them up to the doors loose enough to allow some movement, back the hinge plate out of the way, and shim door accordingly --with a little tightening as you go along. If still no go, shoot me a note and come on over to KY and we'll do it together----I love beating things with hammers--Huck
