Re: door gap question
It sounds like the frame horn is bent causing the radiator support to lift the fender up in front. You may be able to help the gap by raising the cab to compensate. Gaps should be even and approximately 3/16" wide.

Re: door gap question
How does the door to cab look as far as reveal? I would recommend checking the front cab mounts for a compressed mount and also check the core support to make sure it has the proper mount installed (height ) good luck. Cheers, Pat

Re: door gap question
If you have new core support bushings-----and old cab mount bushings, that could be your prob.
