Most of you have seen that I just finished repairing the driver side door on my FFPW.
All this time, I've had a feeling the the driver side upper front cab corner had seen some kind of trauma although nothing is visible and no sign of bondo or previous repairs.
My door is now back together and welded. I re-attached the door and I'm running into the same problem before I seperated the skins.
When closing the door, the front upper corner of the door slightly strikes the bottom of the rain gutter, maiking the cab buldge out towards the front. It's very slight and have to repeat several times to see it happen.
I just took some corner to corner measurements and this what I came up with;
Driver: 47-3/8"
51-1/4"
Passenger: 47-7/8"
51-1/8"
There's no doubt that the door hinges could use some fine tuning but in my case, there's bo doubt that I have a door opeining that is out of wack.
I saw another post where a guy used a hyd ram-rod to push out the very same corner that I'm havign trouble with. I guess this is how I'll approach my cab too.
