Struggling - Lower Piller Placement

Hi all,

49' AD

Struggling to get the door fitment correct. Can someone provide measurements for the following if possible. Any help would help immensely.

- Door width at top of floor, from seal area to seal area. I'm measuring 35.5 but that doesn't seem correct since the door is wider then this.

-Does the lower piller sit flush with the floor or slightly lower? Front and back piller. A photo of this would be great.

Thanks all.

If you could provide photos of where you want the measurements taken it would help..
But we've compared measurements on AD trucks in the 47-54 section before and found they were small differences due to manufacturing

Should the piller be slightly below the floor line?

It’s a Good idea to hang the door once you get it tack up before you get to far into welding
