Well after talking and looking at more pics I have an idea. I opened the door and adjusted the top hinge until the doors were at the same level. 3/8" adjustment raised the door an inch on the latch side. Now the work. I got ahead of myself and welded a lot of the hinge box from the donor Ford. Now I have to cut those welds to move it. There is enough room on the body and door to tilt the angle of the hinges. I think the door will open correct then. I was just afraid this was the answer.

...And pics of others for reference.

What's up with the dually?! What's it look like with the doors closed?

That green one looks like the door drops too

As frustrating as it may be, I hope that solves your problem

The only frustrating part is my welding too much too soon. Some welds may be hard to reach to cut out. But if I tilt the pivot angle of the hinge the door should open better. Maybe I'm just picky.
