(1) how much money have you got? Lining this up perfectly could take 4 days - 30 to 40 hrs.
(2) is the body painted , if so you are limited in how well the doors are going to line up.
(3) if the body is not painted then you need to understand that the cab itself and its mounts are part of the equation to lining up the body lines it is not just the hinges that do the job.
(4) next thing is the fact that the doors would get bent to line things up, get the top of the door as tight as the bottom or the front as tight as the rear.
(5) then you have the issue of door seam gaps, you either remove or add metal, and no mud ever goes on the edge of a door.

Not trying to upset you or anything. But the time to line things up is in the early body work stage and there is way more involved than most folks expect. And even then you go to put it all back together and the darn thing will not go back together as good as it was in primer..........
