pics would help for sure.
check the contour of the rockers because sometimes they get crushed upwards into the door opening so they would be "shorter" that they should be. snap a pic
install and adjust the door to the opening and snap a pic of the rocker to door relationship
install the fender and line up the body line of the door and the fender. snap a pic of how the fender fits compared to the cowl and rocker
grab a pic of the dimension from the body line to the lower edge of the fender, I can compare with mine if you want.(57 gmc). all the cabs should be the same. the difference in years is the front fenders are longer on the 58-9. (ok, there are other things too but for this scenario....)
