Ok, so after test fitting the old removed plate the new one is good, i just had to "massage" it in place. It is not welded in place yet, just test fitting for now. Fits good, door gaps are decent (more work on them later) but one small issue on the back inside edge of the new cab panel, the new door is just rubbing a small bit. I tried moving the dame door hinges till i was blue in the face. To get door gaps good, it still hits, so i think i need to just do a bit of "massaging" to that one area, ie. cut and lower that section just a bit. Comments?
(see pic with black wore off)
