Could any one tell me how to get back doors alined from door to door? There is no adjustment that I can see, the doors line up perfectlt from mounting to cab to doors left and right, but door to door off over 1/4 inch. I thought of repairing back door hinge pins and maybe checking if body is twisted? Need some answers expecially with owners that work on their own vehicles.

Thank you so much for the rear door issues. I have asked many panel truck owners at Frog Follies in Evansville, none could answer my question.

This hole is so you can operate the spare tire holder under the truck. I think this was changed in 1950, when they stopped making the rear sill with the hole/tube and went to a different design for the spare tire holder.

1949Chevypanel, go ahead and reply to this post There is lot's of information about the tire carrier and maybe this is a good time to revise the information. It's always better to have one topic per post as to find it in the future.

Here's another post on the same subject.
