Re: Door Gaps

You may. I had to use some spacers/washers with mine. Mostly LOTS of patience.

Re: Door Gaps

I put a aftermarket door on a friends truck and the door did'nt have the right gap it fit to close to the front so i made a shim the amount i wanted to move it back to line with the cab and if you put the cowl grill on and bolt it to line with the cab post will help lining the door to get the body lines right.

Did you start with lining up the doors before the rest of the body panels?
