When I closed the door on the Drivers side the door does not close properly you have to push or slam it to close. If I hold the door handle and pull it up and slam the top corner of the door it closed flush. in the glove box there are 4 door pins and 4 brass color bushings doe anyone have any ideals on fixing or adjusting the door ?/

This makes it possible to work on the hinge on the bench. Just remove all the bolts holding the hinge on, close the door and pull the hinge out. My 1951 1 Ton is now on the road! My 38 Master 4 Door is also now on the road .
