4. Finally whip the door frame into shape with a 4x4, 4’ long piece or so, beat it around to fit the upper cab.
You may also adjust the rear cab skin where it it attached to the B pillar for a perfect fit, cut the spot welds and re attach.
Its called panel fitting, the factory guys did a great job of it on most trucks and its why when you change a door it doesn't always fit, they need to be fitted to each cab.

I love your posts on panel fitment Randy. I love hearing how the factory did it with huge blocks of wood and big hammers.
