Play in door hinges.

I reinstalled one of my doors back on the cab that I am rebuilding. How much play should I have before I need to rebuild the hinges? The hinges feel tight off of the truck. But I can pry up the door at the B pillar about a 1/4" is this normal?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Play in door hinges.

It`s much easier to do this wth the doors on and the fenders off.
