WTB door hinge spacers......OR - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey I'm looking for a set of shims that go between the door and the hinges to move the door back a bit.....OR does someone know where to buy the shims?....OR maybe a used set of hinges I could use to make my own. They don't need to be good. I just need to get the measurements. I know I saw pics of shims someone made somewhere on the forum but can't find them again.

UPDATE: found the pic

New to me also. The hinges do slide where they bolt to the body. Have you tried this or do you need more adjustment than is available?

The hinge bolts on the cab are a bit tough to get to with the door installed. If I could get the shims I figured that would be easier. I may end up going that route if I can't find them. Anyone got a tips?
