What kind of spacing between the cab corner and the filler panel that goes between the box and the running board mine were cut to put exhaust stacks and the repo one I have seems to be a tight fit .54 model truck
My repop panels weren't a great fit either. I had to stack some washers on the top bolt to get it to bolt up. The 54-55.1 aprons are different than the earlier 47-53 ones. Are you sure you got the correct aprons?

Yes they are the right ones ,origional and I picked up a new repop one to see how it fits but we’re it curves by the cab it is almost touching and the curve on the repop one is off. The problem is that curve was mostly torched out to allow the exhaust stacks that were on it when I got it so the ones that are from the truck were patched so I don’t know what type of space should be between the cab and the panel .
I'm thinking about 1/4 inch should be right. Can't confirm that right now. But the cab has to move a bit relative to the frame.
