Re: 1947 S10 4x4 Blazer swap

I tried washers under the hinge, but that did not help anything. I slotted the upper hinge mounting holes (to the cab) left to right, but they can only move out about 1/8" because of the way the door frame is boxed. I then slotted the upper hinge mounting holes (to the doors) about 3/8" UP, to raise the doors. I didn't do anything to the bottom hinges. I still need to raise the doors up another 1/4" to line up the trim line better. My next step is open up the slotted hole in the ends of the doors to alow the door to move up more. Presently the doors are 1/2" low at the hinge which makes them stick out 1/4" too much at the bottom and sit 1/4" too far IN at the top hinge (which makes them bind against the cab before the door closes alll the way. Long winded explanation, but hopefully you can visualize it. Maybe another 5 hours will do the trick.
