I adjusted the door without the striker plate on. Once I mounted the striker plate, I had to move the door back towards the cowl to shut.
Adjusting the door without the weatherstripping is no bueno for me. I can't see a way to put the weatherstripping on with the door mounted and adjusted. If I adjust the door without the weatherstripping on it would be adjusted in a position that would rip the weatherstripping off when I mounted it.
The hinges are original and there is no play in them. What would be the reason to rebuild them?
I can get the door to shut without taking the weatherstripping off but once I put the striker plate the door doesn't clear the striker plate and the door hits the body at the rear of the door.
The truck cab booklet I mentioned above states the same thing as the Factory repair manual.
The striker I have is a reproduction. I will put the calipers on them tomorrow and see if the repro is thicker than the original.
