hood looks bent on right side?
I have seen this on many trucks and in many build forums and on other sites and i never once seen anyone say anything ? why does the hood sit funny on the right side and my cab the gap on windshield is 1/4 on one side and no gap on driver side and i seen mostly on 56 and 55 trucks was it a build flaw ? i heard early 55 and 56 were more crude till late 56 and on up

Re: hood looks bent on right side?
As for the hood to fender gap... after looking closer the fender looks beat up not the hood causing the gap.
Now your posting more but on rubber gaskets... I am out on this any further... Posted via Mobile Device
