I have now posted pictures of both sides. I need to compress the hood latch more so that the hood closes a little farther making the drivers fit up better. My next question involves the Fender Skirt to Dash Brace rods. What happens when they are lengthened or shortened? I initially set them up at 27 ad 27 1/4 and they were too short to put on. Thanks for all of your help on this.

Those brace rods are imperative in lining the fenders up. Your factory recommended measurements are a great place to start, but may not be the final settings to make things fit.
These rods tend to pull each fender up and in when shortened. The geometry is complicated. Sometimes you want the front of the fender to come up but not in. If ALL of your front clip bolts are loose and the rear inner fender-to cab bolts are completely removed, you can compensate for too much inward pull with a prybar at the radiator support while cranking the rod shorter to get additional lift.
