The doors sag lower in the rear when closed or almost closed.
New pins, hinges are tight.
Could the cab be mounted improperly on the frame?
I am wondering if a slightly fatter rubber spacer in the front mounting location could possibly fix it.
Is there a way to shim the hinges?
Thanks as always. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 161 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 161 | The only way to adjust the hinges on a 46 is to use heat/force to bend them. You actually need to tweak the hinges in order to adjust your doors. It takes some time an patience to get it right.

I have scanned some pages out of a GMC service manual that covers how to adjust your doors, among other things. It does take some bending of the hinges. No heat needed. You will need a piece of 2x4 and a big "C" clamp. I used these instructions when I was working on my 46. It really works.
I can email it to you if you want. Just contact me directly.

I place the 2x4 there and then attempted to shut the door. Do this with light pressure at first. After several pushes on the door it lined right up. | | |
