I'm hanging a resored door on my 51.the bottom hing needs to be bent a little to make it fit the body.I had a 54 I restored and remember in the manual I had it explained the bend the hing to fit the cab better. Problem is I have the factory assembly for 47 to 54, the shop manual for 51 and 54 and can't find the info. All they show is up,down foward aft. No in out. I had the 54 in the 70s. I would love to know now what I knew then. If any one can help I will name the spud truck after them. Thank you O. :confused:

Tony M is right - I never found any info on how to do it. Here is what I discoverd through trial and error.

I haven't taken a pic yet of the latest, but they are almost perfect now - bottom of the drivers door is out 1/16" everywhere else is flush.

O.K. Its Chuck 2 or II or two or as well or in addition to or icluded as. Thankyou very much,I happened to have an extra 8 and a half hours to put the door on, remove it and repeat. Many times, or should that be many many? I got the door to fit to a T now I can put a new corner on the thing. Still waiting for the lower left rear door piller to show to start the driver side. A thousand thanks to you the Chuck.O cool
