As I understand the manual the area above the window bottom should be adjusted 1/8" inboard of flush with the cab.
From the bottom of the window down to the door bottom along the back edge your looking for a flush fit. The front edge of the door calls for 3/32" proud of the front fender along that edge.
If your having trouble with getting proper crush and the bottom/top, front/back gap of the doors are correct THEN place something in the door jam (they call for a 2x4)and bend the widow frame inboard... This of course is all in addition to the front/back/top/bottom gaps. I do the gaps first then go for the flush adjustments... I don't really care about what was 'original' I want it to fit now cause I know it didn't for the last 40+ years due to the previous owners 'living with it' attitudes...
