68 C10 door alignment without removing fender?

Is it possible to align doors on a 68 C10 without taking off the fenders,grille,etc?

Just looking to do some small alignments to the door and not take the entire truck apart to do it as I was waiting to do that when I completely take the truck apart for paint and total restoration.

I just installed a new cab mount kit and radiator support mount kit.

It’s been a few years, but yes it’s possible to do. If you don’t already have them get a set of the s shaped wrenches and it makes the job easier. They also have ones with a ratcheting end, I’ve thought of trying those, but the head may be too big and cumbersome in this case?
Maybe another member has tried them, and will report their results

Awesome. I have always wondered in what instance I might need a S shaped wrench. I will see what sizes I need and get some.

Thanks!
