Door/hinge alignment Help request

I have always had a badly fitting drivers side door. Its a replacement and not original to cab. I added new repop hinges and now its worse as you can see. The bottom half of the door seals ok. The upper does not as you can also see. I donn't think the top half of the door can be easily bent to make it fit. Some say the solution is to bend the hinge in. I have also been told that the hinge pocket may have been damaged when door was opened too far decades ago. the poposed cure is to pound it back with a oak 2x4 section and a 8 pound sledge. Which one or combination is best?? Will cross list with my build thread and would be great to hear all comments. Thanks in advance - Phil

No idea why it loads pic sideways???
