Well I just bolted up the doors to the cab on my 53 3100 and guess what? Those beautiful 5" weld beads that I put in the corners of the door sil, over the ugly 1953 stick welds ended up bitting me in the rear!

I drilled a few tiny 1/8th" "alignment holes" in the hinges before I removed the doors. And now the doors are hitting the striker plate, AND they are too tight to the cowl! thank god I didn't spray final paint yet!

I am going out to the garage to make a "port a power" type jig with 2x4's and a scisor jack and see if I can push the hinge pillar and the lock pillar apart enough to compensate for what my purdy welds did.

It looks like I am going to be cutting the cab with a skinny wheel and hammering and rewelding to get the correct even gap all the way around the doors, do I need to take the cab off the 2x4 dolly I made and bolt it on to the frame before I do all this cutting and welding surgury?

If you need a tool and don't buy it, you will find you have paid for it and don't have it.
