Ben, thanks for your reply to my post. As I've stated before I bought this truck totally disassembled and I've never tried to put one back together. It's been a real challenge so far and I haven't even done the bed or rear fenders yet. Wish I could have seen it before it was taken apart so I would know what should have gaps and what shouldn't. The gap between the cowl and the rear of the front fender is probably closer to 1/2" on each side which seems a bit much to me. I can't figure out why it doesn't fit better.

Thanks again, Don
