can't say for sure if it was like that when I got the truck a year ago. The body guy could not test fit any panels before paint. I just gave him the pieces. the cab and chassis was at my place while I worked on the engine and other mechanicals. It's really a shame because so far everything else fits good. I just hope there is some way he'll be able to bring that corner in tighter.worst case scenerio for me would be to have to take the hood off and have him re-shape that corner and repaint. Wow and after all the time I spent getting the other seams to fit. Oh well today I try to hang the doors. Should prove to be a good challenge.thanks
