Door alinement - need help

Hello everyone. I’m new here. I bought my first Chevy truck just about one week ago, 1969 stepside. I love it and I think I got a great deal..

Anyway, I'm tweaking and tuning and I can't figure out how to reach the hinge bolts inside the upper fender to adjust the alignment of the doors. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Remove the fender. That's how I did it.

Welcome to the 67-72 truck board from West Michigan!

I use a door adjustment wrench that I got from Snap-On. It is an "S" shaped wrench and with some patience you can get to the bolts without having to remove the fender.

I think the part number is 9616. It is a little pricey, however.
