Is it OK to shim the inner fender well away from the cab? Somehow after trial fitment its the only way to get my gaps correct?

My guess would be yes. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened at the factory a time or two. But I'm not familiar with the 66 trucks.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

I also had to shim my 62-c30 out to get it close. That was more than they did at the factory

I will throw some shims in there and see what it looks like. May need to seam seal around the top.
