After a half a day or so the foreman at the end of the line would call and say something gracious like: "SEYMORE!! YOU A-HOLE!! ARE YOU EVEN LOOKING AT THESE TRUCKS?!? EVERY F-IN ONE OF THEM IS RUNNING HIGH!! TAKE SOME SHIMS OUT BEFORE I COME UP THERE AND MAKE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER HIRED ON HERE!!"
So - we'd take a shim out of our little pack and run those until we got the next phone call. That would apply for the top rear vertical bolt, top rear horizontal bolt, and the bottom bolt (both left and right side). So basically there were six ways to mess up every truck (the front of the fender is constrained by the radiator support; there is no adjustment there).

So if there is no adjustment at the radiator support, I have bigger problems than I thought. My NOS fender is WAY wide at the front and I had finally given up trying to get it to fit. Its still wide and looks silly if you look from the front. I figured out the door gap situation and did a little similar with some wood to bend it out
