Re: Gaps and Wind Noise

I'd agree with you that the door is a bit far forward. The dinged up paint along the front edge of the door suggests it is digging into the edge of the fender when you open/close the door.

The door can be adjusted back by loosening the 3 hinge bolts attaching the door to the cab and pulling the hinges back a bit assuming they aren't at the limit. Hard to reach all the bolts with the fender in place but doable I believe. I adjusted my own with the fenders off.

I don't think it is uncommon to find these doors cracked around the hinges. I had to weld up cracks in that area for both doors on my 78.
