The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Doors Left / right door hinges, (different)?

OK, here it goes.
I bought this 47 1/2 ton truck (it came in a box), a hundred years ago. It had lots of extra parts including 5 doors but only 4 hinges. The truck is now going back together and I am test fitting the doors. The doors fit great except the right side door does not open as far as the left. Before I go further I must say that all 4 hinges were rebuilt including pins,bushings,and springs. There is a very noticable differance in the hinges, the right side seems to have an extra plate,(doorstop),welded to both the top & bottom of both hinges. This plate is L shaped and looks very original,(not added on). This L shaped plate is keeping the door from opening as far as the driver side does. Please understand that you can still inter & exit the passinger side OK,(unless your 3 foot wide). My questions are?
1) Is this normal on AD trucks?
2) Could the left hinges had the L plate removed?
3) Would removing the L plate from the right side hinges weakin or distort the hinges?
Thanks for all the help Stovebolters have given me putting this -TRUCK IN A BOX- back together.

The hinges on my 52 had no limiter, or remnants thereof, or any sign there was anything of the sort ever installed on either side. After reading here what can happen, when I open it on windy days, I'm sure to hang on to the door.
