Fitting Model AA Door

[BStaurseth]

I have a 1929 Model AA Truck I am restoring. I need information on adjusting the door fit if any one has some advice for me

[Neil Wilson]

I have a MSWord document with some 82-A cab alignment information. I you send me an email, I will send it to you.

neil do you have a doc like that for the 82 b ? sounds like it would have interesting info to know

[Neil Wilson]

I wrote the document for the 82-A cab. But the procedure can be applied to the 82-B cab or applied to any A/AA.

Hi I dropped you an email about this also.

thanks in advance.

Neil, I set my doors and I think I did it right, could you send me the document as well, as a reference. Thanks

[Neil Wilson]

If the belt moulding of the door and quarter panel align (exactly) and the opening is covered by the lips on the door, then you must have it correct.

If you want the document, you must sent me an email. I can't send you an email from the AA Forum and include an attachment.

got the writeup, thanks a ton! Now I understand why my hood doesn't align as well as my doors.

Would it be better to take this shimming project to a pro? or attack it in the garage?

I need to do the same thing! Will send you a email

carnut14,
I don't have the $'s to hire a shop to do this. It takes lots of time and it is fairly simple to do. So, my advice is do it yourself.

Got it!

Thanks Neil.
