The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Grill Help

Well I just picked up my new Grill today from chevy duty, I am lucky enough to live about 25 minutes from it. My problem is this, whats the best order to put it all back together in? From my trials today it appears I should put the grill in first, then put the lower splash shield on last. Not sure the best route but one I am sure about is I will do it wrong the first time.
Thanks

What kind of truck is it?

Opps, its a 1952 chevy 1/2 ton. Guess I just thought everyone could read my mind.

I put the lower radiator baffle in first because it helps spread the fenders so the grille goes in with less resistance. Don't cinch the inner fender to LR baffle bolts yet. If you can get them use body bolts that are machine threaded (1/4-20 & 5/16-18) all the way down a tapered tip. Keep a scratch awl or small phillips handy to help line up holes. Start all you can loosely - makes lining up the others easier. Some you have to cinch the bolt down to hold the sheetmetal in place just to get a neighboring bolt in. It's a finesse job to get all those bolts in.
Unless you lead a blessed life and everything is lined up perfectly.
