Ended taking the nuts out of the doors. Soaked them in PB. Ran the new screws through them until the worked ( I took the new ones and old ones to Lowes, they checked out as same thread size, weird) and reinstalled the nuts. I installed the door panels using the chrome strip, handles, arm rests, and Velcro to secure them. If I ever do get around to doing more to fix this truck up I'll go ahead and use the stock screws.

I looked at the pictures again and the bottom right corner looks squared off. That's not how it is, its rounded just like its supposed to be. Just a trick of shadows and poor photography.

Ok, been on for a little while. I don't like the Velcro, it just doesn't hold like a screw does so Ill be redoing them once again. Irritating lol.
