Door removal - best way?
I have the front clip off my '72 Sierra Grande in preparation for replacing inner/outer rockers/cab mounts and cab corners. My doors fit great and the hinges seem good. Do I unbolt them from the cab or from the doors to best preserve the fit. I have heard of the drilling two holes in each hinge to preserve alignment. Is that best or just mark them with a sharpie or a scribe line?

Re: Door removal - best way?
Both methods work great. I drill two 1/8 inch hole with a drill and then use the drill bits as guide pins going back in. I use a colored pencil to mark around the outside, then wipe off with cleaner after door installed.
