Factory "massaging" of front door edges?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, I've had three low mileage original square body's over the last several years, an '84, '86, and my most recent '87.

All three of these trucks are super nice with no signs of being in an accident, yet all three look like a novice curved the front edge of the doors (where they meet the front fender) to help make them fit. And this is on both doors. Interestingly enough, all three were built in Canada.

Anyway, I am anal and as nice as these trucks are, this has always bothered me. I went on eBay and zoomed in on this area in some of the pictures there, and sure enough, I see they have it too. I'm not saying they all have it, but I see it on a lot of them.

What is this all about? Have you guys noticed this?
