![]() ![]() Thanks for the input guys, gonna play around with the door some more this weekend. Looking at the lower front corner of your door, it DOES need to shift forward about the same amount as the rear shows. You can always tweak the front fender to fit once the door fits. The cab could have been "pulled together" when it was replaced, if the inner and outer sill were both rusted and the door was not fitted at the time. If you can't go forward enough, modify the structure so the captured nut plate can move farther. You should be able to loosen the front hinge bolts and slide the whole door forward, as well as up and down. You may have to readjust the door, once you try to fit the fenders. You could also gain some adjustment by enlarging the holes on the door pillar. Usually is is easy to move the metal one way, much more difficult to bring it back if you go too far. If you resort to bending metal, do it carefully. ![]() Sometimes a piece of wood can be placed in the hinge, and the door closed on the wood, and then lifted, or pushed down, and move the door hinge face metal that way. That might give you a clue on possible movement of the hinge to give you more forward adjustment.Īnother option is to place a block of wood, on the door hinge face, with the hinge off, and hit the block of wood with a hammer, and get some more adjustment that way. The opposite might be true, the hinge too low on pillar, too high on door.īy removing a bolt on the door pillar, and looking straight through the back side of the pillar, you can see where the bolt threads are. If the hinge is set too high on the door, and to compensate, low on the door pillar, the hinge bolts might be near the bottom of the hole, on the pillar, and not able to move forward enough. You can adjust door in and out on the door, and you can adjust door forward and aft at the door pillar. ![]() You can adjust door height at either the door pillar, or on the door, both top and bottom hinges. Are the hinges OEM Datsun hinges, or after market reproductions? Could there be a slight difference between 19 620 door hinges, or are they all the same? Could the hinges you got be for a 620 king cab?Ī right side top hinge is a left side top hinge, upside down. Check to make sure the cab is not damaged. ![]()
