Mike,
loosen up All 6 bolt of the front clip and move it back.Do not move the cab if you do not a thing will line up.Your gap should be 1/8 of an inch or a little more.Most of the time the top to bottom gap will be defferent on 55-59 chevy trucks most of the time.They did not spend alot of time on these trucks at the factory.Do not bond it will crack off.If any thing spot weld down the edge to colse the gap.Hope it helped you.P.S hi longbox55!!
