Re: 1969 GMC.. right off the farm

My new (to me) doors are both really solid, but both have had weld repairs completed so they needed some bodywork at the seams. Driver side had a lower portion of the outer skin replaced and the passenger side had the lower portion of the inside replaced. It was worth it to me to buy these rather than try to fix mine, which have rot problems all over. I considered buying reproduction doors but its not really the look I'm going for and like the idea of the truck being mostly original sheet metal. (I will probably buy a new bed)

I fitted my rockers using my old doors, so things aren't lining up perfectly even at full adjustment. Going to need to work on some shims or opening up the adjustment slots wider on the hinges to get a little more tilt. Door is hanging outside the rocker in the front. Looking forward to solving this and getting the rest of my new front sheet metal hung. Dug out my 'new' fenders from the shed to start to see how things are lining up.
