Well, I chickened out. I'm the kind of person who believes in doing things right. But, the more I looked at doing the complete alignment, the harder it got. Previous owner had applied some type of undercoating to the wheelwells. That is why I was trying to find out exactly what bolts/nuts must be loosened. If I had a diagram of exactly which bolts/nuts need to be loosened, then I would tackle the complete job. But, I don't want to loosen things that shouldn't be loosened. As it is, with that undercoating, you can't tell a bolthead from a gob of goop. So, moving those fenders down out of the way is going to be a major undertaking. So, I just loosened the hood attachment and got it much better than it has been since I've owned the truck. At least I can close it now. The gap is at the cowl is nowhere close to even, but at least I have a better understanding now of how everything goes together. Maybe I'll get bored one day and go searching for all those bolts and nuts.
My truck is as stock as the day it left the factory. I enter her in some small-time, local carshows. I display her with the hood open so everyone can look at that 216. So, fortunately, those gaps don't show with the hood open.
Thanks for the help!
