Re: Classic Parts vs LMC Truck

How does the door fit in the cab opening? If it fits with a good gap I would be looking at the cab for compression front to back. With that bend, I would expect the rear gap to be wider and maybe even latching problems??? Old school fix involves door in closed position, come along applying tension to the passenger side at the bend, 4x4 and sledge hammer. With the right tension one good pop should move it back into place. Without the tension it will just bounce back. You will also need to tap the inside with a hammer to release the tension as it moves. I had to get a bend out of my tailgate using similar method.
