I was able to push the fender forward but locking down the radiator support did not hold it so when I do the final assembly I will need to use the fender connection to the cab to help secure it in place.
I am back to the hood hinge adjustment procedure in hopes that I can get the hinges locked in position. From what I have seen so far it appears that I should be able to get the fenders to align with the hood per the procedure. I don't need to get everything locked down as the fenders will be coming back off for paint but I do want to have a clear path to a decent fit so that once painted I can minimize the potential for damage to the painted parts.
