Poor door to cab fit

[dieselmec21]

My cab doors on my closed cab hits the striker plate well below on both sides. Is there an adjustment that I don't know about? Thanks for your help.

I don't own a closed cab but I have had this problem on my pickup truck before. The bushings are usually worn. Look at the point were the hinge joins the firewall. Sometimes you can loosen the bolts and lift up the door then retighten the hinge bolts. If you go this route, place a wood support or jack under the edge of the door to take the weight. If you are using a jack, place a rag or cardboard to protect the paint if it slips.

The hinge pins may need to be replaced.

I never have this problem on my open cab.

I have new hinges and pins and I did the old 2x4 under the door and I still can't get it to close even half way decent. I don't think the rear of the cab could be up to high, it is a solid frame. This one has me stumped ! Thanks for the reply!

Your cab might be "out of shape"since both sides are off
Did the doors fit in the openings without the hinges installed ( in that the gap around them is uniform )?
You can bend those hinges in a vise individually prior to installation if worse come to worse
Do you have the correct hinges in the corresponding locations, I think they may vary slightly.But I'm not sure
Hope this Helps

I will try to swap out the door hinges from side to side. The other truck that the doors came off of fit great on that ol truck......Thanks for the suggestion I will give it a try!
