Thanks for the advice. I don't think that the cab is too badly distorted. (yet anyways) The doors seem to have a fairly consistant gap all of the way around. The only thing is that the passenger side was not flush, I assumed that it was because the striker plate needed adjustment, but who knows for sure.

I'm curious, how do the bolts affect adjustment? Aren't the rockers spot welded in place? Or are they spotted after adjustment?
