On the 55-59 TF trucks we just expect to have lousy door fit so first we replace or rebuild all the hardware so there is no sloppiness.. Next we set the door in the opening WITH NO HARDWARE and see if it fits the hole. If not, then it is ground at the close spots, built up at the big gaps, and bent or twisted till it fits. Now just the hinges are installed and fit checked, If not a good fit hinges are bent/straightened/twisted till it fits. Sometimes the hinge bolt holes are drilled out to way oversize so door can be set in the correct position. Once set very heavy washers are installed on the bolts one at a time, tightened, and welded into place. Next step is to throw the factory latches and dove tails plus the weather strip with plastic pegs in the trash barrel. Steele glue on w/s and bear claw latches are the final step. You will now have a TF with perfect fit and gaps for a mere 3 grand or put up with a little misalignment and a few gaps for way less. One is for show and the other is for fun.
