I have loosely assembled the inner and outer fenders and the splash pans. The grill is a snug fit and some of those bolts are going to be a real bugger to get to. Other than patience and a good selection of Merle Haggard tunes is there any secret to getting all this to fit without having to "convince" some of the holes and bolts to align?
I'm in no hurry, but I also don't want to spend a month tightening and loosening bolts...har!

And yes, some of them are fun to get to. http://www.chuckthetruck.homestead.com/page16.html | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | There is a procedure in the Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual. The short summary of it is start at the cab and work toward the radiator support. | | |
