half to cab pillar.
b. If door is to be brought outward from cab opening,
apply pressure at door hinge area from inside

It may be necessary to reposition door
striker plate on lock pillar after making above

Door Lock Striker Plate
Raised beads on the back of the striker plate and se r­
rations on both the front and back of the striker plate
spacers, coupled with movable anchor plates in the pillar,
allow for "in and out" or "up and down" adjustment for a
close fit of the door on the lock side.
The striker plate spacers must be assembled so the
vertical serrations on the spacer are toward the lock
pillar (fig. 104). Likewise, the horizontal serrations on
the lower spacer must be toward the front so they match
the horizontal slot in the striker plate.
A djustm ent
1. Position striker on pillar as low as possible (bottom
of lock rotor housing 27/32" below striker cam) and
still provide clearance between striker cam and lock
rotor leading edge.
NOTE: Striker cam must not interefere with
leading edge of rotor as door is being closed.
Outline striker with a pencil. This will provide a
base from which to make further adjustment.

dow regulator, door lock, remote control, vent window,
and door window, can be replaced without necessity of
removing door from cab. Doors can be removed, how­
ever, without prior removal of above components. Re­
moval and installation of door window glass is described
