Worth a try. Hang the door, and then modify the top jamb so
that it fits.

What's wrong with the existing door?

Hi,
I want to replace my existing exterior entrance door. I have
the
possibility of getting a used door, 35 1/2" x 79", but the
existing
door is 35 1/2" x 82"!

Will I be able to fit this replacement door? And what do I
do with the
extra 3"? I was thinking of putting a 3" bar of treated wood
and then
capping it as the "new" door frame--will this suffice to
keep out cold
air leaks?

thanks!
Vinit
