Adjusting doors
I used the J.C. Whitney door seals on my 79 but still don't have a good seal. They seem to be on right and the door closes tight but doesn't seal in places. The door seems pretty square with the cab. I thinking of trying to adjust it anyway but have no idea if there are any except the stricker bolt.

Adjusting doors
The hinges have bolts that can be loosened to adjust them. Remember to scribe a mark around the original hinge position for reference.
Loosen the hinge to door bolts for lateral adjustments only. Loosen the hinge to body bolts for lateral and vertical adjustment. To move the door use a padded adjustment tool. Tighten the bolts to 24 lbft.
