I have 2 1986 c10's in my driveway and both f.bumpers sit over too far on the passenger side? Is there any easy fix ? Or even a hard fix? Thanks .

I've a few of these and they all had the same problem...I never kept them long enough that they bothered me but this one is the cleanest one and I want to fix this...

Loosen rad cradle bolts and center the front end between the bumper if it's not far out.

It means the cab is not sitting on the frame straight. It is rotated in the plan view. That was a problem during assembly because of the short distance between body mounts on a regular cab (Suburban/Blazer and Crew cab were less susceptible to this).

The hood takes on the direction the cab is facing, shooting straight out. That means the fenders and rad support have to be scooted over in that direction to align the fender-to-hood gaps.

Hard fix is to loosen the cab and turn it; easy fix is to cheat the front bumper as much as you can.

Make sure you do any adjustments with the hood open and ALWAYS close the hood with caution, checking all edges.
