Re: Door Alignment Question

Finished the door alignment project, and Chief you were right on, the lower hinge bushings on both sides were really shot, bunch of play in them. Gotta say, it was pretty intimidating to dig into from all the posts of how difficult it could be to align. But with the fenders off, marking the hinge location first with a sharpie, and doing the 3/16" drill through the hinge trick on the cab side, it really was very easy. 2 of the 4 hinge pins pins came out without having to take the hinges off the cab, and seating the new pins was pretty straightforward. Doors open and close now nice and smooth without whacking anything. Moral to the story is even if you're a rookie like me where every truck improvement project is a first time adventure, this was pretty low on the frustration list, very satisfying to end up with doors that open/close correctly. Oh, and I also used the paint stir sticks tip to raise the door up a bit, worked great.

Thanks everybody for the input!
Brian
