Groyd, The drip edges are just spot welded to the door opening but they were just about rusted off and the sheetmetal behind them had alot of holes. The gap was large too. I cut out the bad metal and sheared 1 inch wide strips and bent them a little over 90 degrees with a 1/2 leg on both sides. I did the opening in 3 sections. So I mounted the door and used a strecher/shinker to fit the door. Sat the new piece with the gap I wanted up against the cab and scribed the cab the cut it out with a 4 1/2 cut off wheel. then welded it on the outside and inside on the door opening. I skipped around so it didn't worp out and ground it up. It wasn't bad to do just took time. If you need anymore pictures let me know.
