Can you explain the problem better? If I can guess if it is the rear the 3 screws in the striker can be loosened moved farther in. And in the front you can eather shim the fender or loosin the 6 bolts and move the door in (not sure about this) Their is also 6 bolts behind the 2 covers on the front edge of the door witch you can rotate the door some. Hope this helps

Bhadden, had a good point about the cab twisting I know it will if the floor borads were cut in it. I had a problem with my doors when I put new seals the doors wouldn't close all the way at first the new seals had to squeeze down it only took a few days. I just had to move the striker in a little at a time.
