adding the springs causing the hood to stand proud is THE sign you have worn hinges that need to be replaced, the slight difference in bolt hole location on the 5-7 cab may not be a problem, but ones I've seen are just enough different to prevent much adjustment

there are no other real differences except the firewall was slightly changed where the throttle linkage mounts for the V8 ... the fender alignment problem is more from mating parts from different years, which varied slightly over time as factory equipment and molds wore - even on the line with the TF trucks they had to test fit and discard pieces - into the replacement parts bin
