I have a '38 GMC, last night I was messing with it and started looking at the way the hood was sitting, on the passenger side latched or unlatched the hood sat down on the grill plus the revel is about the same all the way around the way it should be. The drivers side on the grill side the hood has about a 1/4" gap on top to about 1/2' gap on bottom it looks the same on the cab side except it over laps the cab more then it should. I pick the bolt holes where that the cross bar goes in for reference points on both side of the hood and the grill is the same distance from the cab. So what do I need to do to fix my hood??

Here's a 36 I worked on with similar issues...

If you have good gaps on one side and too wide on another, it may be an issue of the core support rods to the firewall are adjusted to different lengths...
