Re: Aligning body panels...

thanks guys, i think i'll start by getting some new striker bolts, and hinge pins (just to make it that much easier)
but where i've been running into trouble is where the door meets the cab on the handle side. it's weird, the middle of the door lines up fine with the body lin of the cab. but the door still needs to be "sucked" into the cab at the top edge (below drip rail) and at the bottom corner nearest the bed... maybe adjusting the striker bolt will help? i'm not looking for perfect alignment, i'll worry about that more when it gets painted someday. i just want it water tight lol and no whistling going down the highway
