Re: Hood Alignment

I would remove the whole piece or the rod from the hood while lining up the hood, just confuses things. When you get the hood to fit, then play with the latch. I almost wore out the bolts on the cab and radiator mounts on both the 68 and 70 before finally getting them right.

Rad support has to center on frame, else bumber will be off, work back and play with cab but keep in mind box alignment to cab. Frame could be a little tweaked too, Lots of fun, move one part, then something else is off, doing another one this summer, not looking forward to lining all the stuff up again.
