I think adding to the problem is the fact they didn't fit very well to begin with. Looking at a cab schematic showing how many pieces made up the door jamb (and the whole cab for that matter) it's amazing anything fit on these trucks. Too bad for restorers they didn't have today's level of laser guided robotic assembly when these were designed. I imagine when these were new it was all done by hand with manual clamps, and a buyer just had to hope his truck wasn't assembled on a Monday or Friday!
