Driver side door issues

Bought a 72 c10 and can not get the driver door to line up at all. Finally got a good look at the back side of the door where hinges are. Looks like that part of the door runs in a slant and is dented at top. Just making sure this isn't how this door is suppose to be before I go with a repop door. Thanks

Looks like someone beat on it with a hammer for some reason. If the rest of the door is in good shape I would try to fix it before I would buy a repo.

Just my 2¢ worth....

X2 be easier to get this one back right. Repop doors will have their own sets of challenges to make them right

Re: Driver side door issues

That raised section should be flat. To me it looks like the door was closed with something in the jamb causing the dent. Where the hinges attach look pretty flat as well as the portion that seals to weather stripping. X3 on working with what you have.
