Ok, turns out out the core support is completely rotten, as in the mount on the passenger side is rotten though. The mount is doing nothing. Obviously, if that were as it should be, the core support would sit about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch higher, thus separating the fender from the door on the lower front of the door.

It's common for the passenger side of the core support to rot out.. The main cause is over the years, leaking battery acid gets to it.. Looks like it's time for some serious restoration work to begin.. Core supports, cab supports, floor patch panels, frame brackets, rubber mounts ------ all are readily available...
