Replaced inner rocker, outer rockers, and floor pans. everything measures out fine, but my drivers door drags on the rocker evenly across, and i cant get enough adjustment in the hinge plate to make it up.. I have good body bushings but i havent tightened the 2 down prom replacing the the floors... Help...

you may need to shim the body mount to make up some of the difference. I know when Ive changed them Ive had to shim them to get the doors to shut correctly.

Can you post a photo of the body mount shims you did to help with this problem?

Thanks

Is the door dragging the rocker directly under the bottom hinge? If so how does the top of the door look in relation to the fender and rear quarter? If all this looks good then you will probably need to roll the top outer edge of the rocker down . Ive done this with good results

The front fender lines up really well with the door post, so i am going to try a new set of hinges and see how that does.. I will post some pics when I get them installed...

Mine looked good in the front, but dragged in the back. I added shims to the mount under the floor pan and i think one on on the body mount behind latch. i used large fender washers.
