Rebuilding the hinges would definitely help.
Possibly the door itself is tweaked on the upper part, since you have an extra gap between A-pillar and window frame. I think that would be more likely than the whole cab being tweaked. Is the spot where the door hits the rear of the opening nearer the top or the bottom of the door?
