Aftermarket doors
« on: October 11, 2014, 11:52:46 am »
   Hello all I have an 81 stepside short bed. I purchased two doors from brothers trucks,and I am having trouble gettin them to line up. Did I waste money or is there a trick?

Welcome to the site.
The body lines, sheet metal wasn't stellar as far as lining up, aftermarket panels are worse no matter how good the quality is. If the cab is rusty, or has had less than quality body work / rust repair it could be causing you problems as well.

It was in the scallop I'm going to call it, didn't line up at all way out! I patched the bottom of the passenger door today worked out good except the metal warped bad
