I'm new to the forum and need some good input on my project. I've replaced inner and outer rockers, partial floor pans and started doing assembly before I take it back apart for paint paint. My problem is the passenger side door. When I fit the the door the front edge of the door is 1/4" behind the rocker. The driver side is even with the front of the rocker. I've measured from the A-pillar back to the front of the rocker and it is the same on both sides. I can't move the door anymore foreward. The cab shows no evidence of a hard collision. Any ideas ? Is the front of the door supposed to be even with the rocker ? I should have taken pictures before teardown.
