Door alignment issues

[Kim57]

Looking at your pics the door does fit a lot better than how mine fit.
I removed the drip rail which enhanced the problems even further.
I spent days adding and removing metal from both the cab and doors to get something I'm fairly happy with.
It takes time but you can get them to look nice.

Did you modify the caracter lines on rear of cab? If so pics? If you look close the top caracter line is off a 1/8" more than door latch line. Door latch line would be easy to fix with a little filler, the top one a lot of work.

Here's a link to my build thread.

Starting on page 9 is where you can see what I had to do to my doors to get the gaps to look decent.
I think you will find that you may have to compromise on some of the problems these trucks had from the factory.
Some of the character lines on mine weren't the greatest but I was able to make them work. My biggest problem was the drivers door. The line in the middle of the door was a real problem to get to line up with the front fender and the rear cab. I literally spent days on and off getting them work.
