Door jam measurements? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

moneyguru · 03-21-2003, 03:46 PM

The 67 GMC Longstep I purchased had received a 95% off the frame restoratin by the previous owner. BUT

The doors are not aligned correctly, the body shop guy I know has indicated the rocker panels (which had been replaced) may need to be adjusted (cut and moved?) in order to correct the situation.

My question is how can I measure the door opening to determine if this is correct? Any thoughts, btdt?

Thanks

One way to do it is to measure your doors, add the clearance and that will give you a close number for the door opening. Be sure to measure the door and the opening at the same position.
