i want to chop the top on this cab either 3 or 4 inches. but before that, i have to get the doors on and in proper alignment. i ordered new hinge pins from roberts truck parts. theses were $2.50 a piece, but with shipping came to an even $20.00. i get the doors on and the pins in and i have alignment issues. not much provision for adjustment on these cabs, so i bought a cheap oxygen/mapp torch from the home depot. it burns hotter than propane but goes thru oxygen quickly. i worked on the passenger side first. i hung the door, noticed which way the hinges had to go, and pulled the door off to keep it from taking any of the heat. i had to bend both the upper and lower hinges and again, trial fit the doors a few times before i got it adjusted just right. here is the passenger door with proper alignment. onto the drivers door.
