Jon's 69 CST Build

I've never been happy with the way that the driver door latches, so next up was to replace the latch and relay. At some point someone put the inner door handle on with the horseshoe clip on backwards, so that the open end of the horseshoe clip was on the wrong side of the handle, the side without the grooves that the removal tool fits into. After fiddling with it for a couple of hours, I finally had to cut it off.
Even with the new latch and relay, I'm still not happy with the way the door latches. If I adjust the striker so that the door latches well every time, the door is hanging out too far. If I adjust the striker so that the door lines up even with the cab, I have to slam the door pretty hard to get it to latch.
The striker looks in good shape, and has been replaced at some point.
Would love to hear any ideas about how to fix this.
