Re: Does the driver door swing open more than the passenger by design?

It swings open further because part of the hinge body that bolts to the truck has been beat out from years of the door being pushed too far when people got in and out. That is real common though and one reason besides backing into something with the door open that so many AD trucks have the dent in the side of the cowl where the door hit it.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
