For these year trucks I have NEVER seen that work. Normally it makes more damage to the sheet metal where the hinges are welded to than helping the droop..

I have see all kind of things done on older styles where the hinges bolt on. The board trick I have used , but not for doors that droop. Normally we use that where the top or bottom are too close. It sorta pushes out the window frame so the door is straight. That was a common p[problem then from people leaning on the open doors. The hinges would hold up, but the window frame would slightly bend in.
