Ted, ya mean the bracing rods from inner fender to firewall? I don't know where it came from but I have an idea that one side is in fact meant to be 1/4" shorter than the other. I also have a feeling it's the other way round from how yours measure out. Might just be imagining this so maybe someone more knowledgeable can chip in here.
Also an oldtimer told me that these old trucks were shimmed like crazy at the factories get everything to more or less fit. So shim it up! It's legit! (So long as the frame isn't off.)
