Re: What would you guys do?

I moved the striker out and put the weather stripping in. It got the body lines lined up. The door still fits like sh*t though! I'm getting the truck painted very soon but I'm gonna have to find a factory door

Re: What would you guys do?

Regarding the striker bolt, you may have to reach behind the door pillar and hold on to the nut on the opposite side when tightening it. That nut can spin a little when you tighten it, and even though it seems tight it may loosen over a short period of time. Also, if the door hinge pins are shot, then you should replace those. Grab hold of the door by the handle and try to move it up and down. If it moves a lot, then the hinge pins need replacing.
