Yes it came with the door pre-hung. I don't have a good picture with me of the side but the gaps were not that bad.

Re: 1955 2nd Series Build Start

Well things have been moving on with the body work. Have made some (I think) drastic changes to the truck. My original plan was to keep the look as original as possible, but things have changed as they sometimes do. Here are a few pictures of the progress so far.

Started getting the bed of the truck back together after paint. Getting closer, but still a long way to go.

I thought those looked very similar to TMI's seats, went on LMC website, and they are. Very interested in how they fit and feel.

Cheers, Jim
