I replaced mine recently & I do not remember which cab combos work, but I have the regular cab model. What mattered the most was the bottom rear corner of the door. Mine has a rounded bottom rear corner but some of them are square. Match that up & you should be fine.

Now, ma'am, I'm not trying to be an *** here, but, please use proper grammar and sentence structure. It would make your posts a hell of a lot easier to read.


Better yet, post a picture.

You can't just bolt the door on, you have to align it. Do one hinge at a time, backing off the bolts until they're just snug, then pick up/push down/pull out/push in the door whichever direction it needs to go. If you get it close, you can pick up on the end off the door or pull down on the end to slightly bend the hinges and fine tune it.
