Re: sagging doors
You need to either replace the hinges or replace the bushings and pins, that should also help with the door latching.

Re: sagging doors
I agree with beater, going to need to change the bushings and pins or the hinges. You may also need to replace the striker on the passenger side, depending on if the hinges help your problem or not. There is a piece of plastic around the steel part of the striker that will wear out and break, which causes the latch to not grab the striker as well. If the hinges don't solve your problem for that door complete, you can pick up a new stiker at autozone or anywhere pretty much for like 5 bucks. Good luck.

Re: sagging doors
There is an article about this topic in the May issue of "Classic Trucks".
