Still working on the hood alignment but waiting on mounting bolts before I do any more on that. It sounds like I may have a source for the hood brace but that is still pending.
I did pick up the parts for a different grille that was painted, not chrome but I will still need to make some repairs to my grille end plates as they were not part of the deal.
I moved on to installing the doors to fit check and install the striker portion of the Altman latch kit. Apparently my cab is not a '50 but rather a '52 or later as the striker plates in the kit do not fit and the manufacturer has advised that I need the striker plates from their 52 - ?? model year kit. In the process I realized that I have some adjustment issues with the driver's side door (have not gotten to the passenger side yet) getting the belt line to match between the door and the cab. I also realize that it has been a long time since I took the doors apart and proably will struggle to remember how they go back together, not to mention obtaining the parts that I need to replace.
It is good thing I am not on a schedule or working against a deadline.
