If you can post pictures I will look at them. I am a 40 plus year auto body tech.(Retired) The damage may be the outside only but if the door was "sprung" too far the area at the hinges may be damaged as well. Does the door open and close normal or do you have to slam it? Does the door gap look wide at the back? these are all indicators that there is a major problem. I hate to bear bad news but if the door no longer fits the parts truck it will not fit the other truck. Shoot the pictures of the door jamb area, door gaps, a wide shot of the door and I will look at them.
