I have a door alignment procedure for a TF truck, some similarities may
apply. I scanned it from a vendor catalog and have placed it in a temp
folder on chevytrucks.org--I'll leave it up for a few days---hope nobody
calls GSPP and tells them---but then again---they came to my web
site-swiped a picture of my truck-altered it and put it up on their main
page at
http://www.gspp.com and didn't ask or anything....Thought about asking
them to remove it and raise a stink--but.....kinda nice they thought my
truck was decent enough to put up on their main page...
So here is there door alignment procedure from their catalog...

The alignment procedures comes straight from the shop manual... ---wayne
