Doors are tricky and your lucky if it fits with no reworking. The Door they sell fits a truck they have and the door opening on that truck. Your door opening may or may not be different. To think your Door opening is exactly the same as all trucks of the same year or model and is still the same dimension as it was when it came off the line 40 years ago is not realistic.

NOS is not a standard of fit, OEM is. NOS is nothing more than New Old Stock and still could be a repop that's 20 years old. With that said Triplus and Dynacorn have some of the best fitting panels and doors.
