Keep the radiator support bolts loose as well where it bolts to the frame. This give you a little play for lining up all the parts.

On my 53 it was easier to bolt the inner and outer fenders together and then install as a unit. If you have the year truck with the fender rod supports that connect to the fire wall these are great for lining things up. Exact length adjustments are in the manual.

Good luck
