see my tag line? there's not many details on these ol trucks that's not absolutely vital to the whole .... the lower hinge pockets are frequently rotten, any leaks around the door collect down there and keep the dirt/dust that collects in there wet - it's also right behind the tire, where the cowl vent drains .... as I said on your original door thread, the TF doors are a study in frustration, takes a lot of patience to get it all
near right, which is as close as the factory got it
but hey! by the time you do your next truck it'll be a piecea cake
seriously, put the door on with the hinge bolts loose - put the latch on - close the door, maybe adjust the striker position a bit to get the best fit -
then try tightening all the hinge bolts from the inside that you can reach [most] - check how it opens and closes - keep fiddling to get it closer - expect to do that all over when you put the fender on, and again when you put the seal on
