I've been lax in keeping up with this thread that I started. Work has me hopping but I continue to make progress on my truck. Awhile back I temporarily mounted the front fenders so that I could (1) figure out how to do it before I painted the fenders, (2) decide where to mount the turn signals, and (3) check the fender heights to see if my concern about the 1/4" difference at the sides of the radiator support was really an issue or not. After tightening up all of the fender mounting bolts I found that the fenders were only 1/8" different in height. I double checked the support rods between the inner fenders and the firewall to make sure the lengths were set correctly, which they are. I came to the conclusion that the 1/8" difference will probably work itself out as I finish putting the front end together. Installing the grill will probably help to square things up. I can then go in and add shims where I need to.

Thanks to everyone for all of the great input!
