There does not seem to be a lot of wiggle room between the hinges and the body of the truck. My 83 has power doors, so I would rather not have to remove that boot and harness to fix the hinge pins - I have had enough trouble with door wiring already.

It can be done without moving the door far away from the body and without removing the hinges. You will have to move it away some to get working room. Hang the door from something overhead or use a door dolly.
