Door Check Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there more than one orientation for the door checks on our trucks. I have a new one that is installed except for the pin. It looks to me like it would only open about 3/4 of the way.

If I understand the question, there is only one position, either open all the way , or closed.

I just put a set in my doors last night. They only go one way.
Compared to the side with none at all and using the cowl panel as the door stop, the door doesn't even open even half as far. -which is good.

I thought it might be slightly angled at the end where if turned over it would allow it to open more. I need to put the pin in it and see what it looks like. I had the old ones on there and it seemed like it opened plenty far with them.

I believe that the reproductions give you less opening than the originals
some one did mention that the jeeps rear door stops also work. do not know the length of travel. jeeps from the 80's
