I had my radiator support frame in place, bolted the inner and outer fenders together, then installed it on the truck. I pre-fit all parts first, then after painting I installed it. I had two helpers to handle it and not scratch the fresh paint. One thing I had to do is put a 1/4” x 2” aluminum spacer beside the new grill. You can see it in one of my photos. Once it was painted you would not notice it. I had to do that to get the hood and fenders to fit right. I think the new aftermarket grill is narrow compared to the old one. It fits nice now and sits down on the rubber pads that rest on the fenders.
