Just reading your post, and it is hard to figger out not seeing the whole thing. Guess what I would do is pull the v rod and losen the bottom support for the raditor and front raditor cowl. Its a slotted two bolt on frame crossmember under raditor. measure distance from fire wall to raditor both side and make even. reinstall v rod and adjust to fit, somewhere the two sides don't match, Is the v rod upside down. Hope your cab is straingh on the frame and eazy to tell measure front of frame to fire wall both sides. Don't know if it helps but can't hurt to try,
