So with hood closed, I have a good 1/2" gap between the hood and the cowl, at the top. I think I will put the grill in place, remove the hood latch plate and do the alignment procedure in the tech tips. It's a little confusing about which hinge bolts it's referring to, but I'll see what I can do to follow along.
This truck lost it's mount under the rad years ago and I had to repair a bunch of stress cracks in the fenders. Knowing that there is likely to be some warpage, should I try for a 1/4" gap? Or go for 1/8" and see if I can get the fenders to align to that?
