Help is appreciated.

I’ve linked the door adjustment procedure from the Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1947truck/47ctsm0109.htmIt could also be worn hinge pins which are replaceable and available from most vendors.

Shoot me an email and I can send you some pages out of a 46 GMC manual that shows how to adjust the doors. Worked great on my 46.
