Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

I noticed the middle body line is not in line with the cab and the bottom of the door is not flush with the rocker. It's hard to tell in the pics what is exactly going on.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Alan as we had discussed, I had noticed the body line on that side is a little off.

I think the bottom will be fine, the bottom hinge needs to be pushed in some.
But there again what do I know, that's not my department.

I'm just a Landscaper / Builder

Anyway what a deal I got 300 bucks and furnished material.

Thanks Alan for your valuable input

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

198 and Alan,
Doors look good. and I see where you guys are talking about the body line is off, but the lower body line looks to be okay.

Alan,
How do you fix one with out messing up the other one's alignment? just curious.

Might work on the cab corner body line. It's a shorter line to modify. Depending on how it lines up with the bed.

Remember guys - if you can't fix it with a beater, it's an electrical problem.

The bed could be shimmed up or down that little bit?

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

I am a body work beginner and I have to say that looks like an incredibly hard problem. For the most part the door aligns ok, it just looks like a bad stamp job on the door at the factory. Looking forward to the experts weighing in on this one!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Probably not a bad stamp, just fit a certain truck. I have a donor door on mine and the stamp is a little off too. It probably fit the original truck it was on perfectly. The chrome trim holes are off a little too, but probably fit the original fine. I think there were different measurements going on at different build plants back in the day. They got em close enough.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

In those days it was just a truck, and they were put together very crude. Like on my truck the seam above the windshield is much bigger on the right side than the left side, and the door gaps are really bad. As far as it looks like my truck is all original.

Yeah that is my excuse for not making the body on my truck perfect like others on here. It has nothing to do with my inability

they had an allowable range for the fitment of the pieces and panels...if you look in the assembly manual it tells the tolerances....as strodder said, they were only trucks so the tolerances were fairly large
probably depended lot on the different assembly guys....we all know how that goes

I think I read somewhere that the gap all around the door is 5/32"
except the bottom, it has a 1/4" gap.....

These measurements are correct except if your truck was built on Friday afternoon.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

I took my old 12 bolt rear end out tonight....411 gears and replaced it with another 12 bolt rear end I had with 373 gears and swapped out the trailing arms while I was at it.

I'm getting to old to be doing this crap by myself
