51 cab prep doors before removing

From what I see and hear theres no prep before removing the door/hinges as they are not ajustable like 55-say 70 cars as you can drill a smal pilot hole in the hinge before removing to help align or reference the remounting of the door/hinges. I have welded in cross bracing where any floor pan or structual bracing might need replacing later so the door pillar/jams,sheet metal will stay rigid. As most have posted the hinge pin or slight bending hinge plate is about the only adjustment that can be made to help adjustment. My doors gaps are fine and doors open and close great. Just want to keep them that way when I go to reinstall them
