Adjust door hinges- sitting a little low - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dzwestwindsor · 05-20-2014, 11:22 PM

The doors on my 71 C20 sits just a tad low- if I lift it a little it closes fine. If I don't lift it, it still closes, but I have to give it a harder swing and it hits the bottom of the door frame with a loud bang before closing.

There is some vertical play, but not a significant amount.. I have to look closely to see it.

Is there a way to just adjust the entire hinge and have it sit higher? Or do I have to get new door pins/bushings?
