Door latch working?  Observe the other side and see if it is releasing all the way.  Does the cab sag, door aligned OK.  Pictures would help to diagnose the problem...

also my inner fender (the piece between the tire and engine) fell out the other day an i think i should probly put it back on because there are a few things attached to it would welding be the best way to reattatch it or is it even nessesary

my guess is it is rusted , that is why it fell off? if that is the case get a new one or good used one. would be a good time to replace the fender also if it is badly rusted.

Not really if the inner fender fell off...It's bolted to a lip around the wheel opening on the fender
