Door size
I replaced the passenger side door years ago after a flop..
The problem is that there is a gap on the back end of the door and is a noisy.
I picked up the door, and wasn't really sure if it came from a pick up, 4runner but it mounted up and so I used it. It also had a wing that I swapped the parts for a full window.
Is there any chance that the pickup door is shorter then the 4runner door? or is the 1984 door different from a 1989 door? Or did not just not do that great of a job replacing the top of the cab.
thanks

It's about 1/4 to 1/2 inch....
the door jamb was not replaced, the cut was from the bottom of the a-pillar across.
and the gap is noticeable at the bottom of the door.

i dunno then. still think it's related to the flop - something likely got tweaked slightly, like perhaps the bottom of the A-pillar/hinge pillar got slightly tweaked and is now resulting in a gap. pretty sure all the 1st gen 4runner and 2nd gen pickup sheet metal is the same from the front doors forward, so i would double check by having someone take some measurements off their door and verify this. if it turns out to be the correct door size and still a gap, i think the thing to do would be to weld a piece of rod to the edge of the door panel to extend it - at least that's what I see people do on their classic cars to fix gaps.
