Re: Moody's Utah 58 Apache
that hornet nest is what nightmares are made of...
i suggest you throw the front fenders on to check alignment to the doors. everything can be shimmed and typically was from the factory. you can shim the rad support with washers, or either cab mount. a couple years ago, martinsr posted a pic from the 57 of factory adjustment method of closing the door on a piece of oak before going into the paint shop. if the top back of the door is jammed to the frame while everything else works, you can jack the door pillar/firewall forward. my cab was dropped on the firewall, luckily we had an old school body guy working in the shop at the time. he'd jack a bit and then go around the frame with a 5lb hammer relieving stress. any impact to the front can do the same. if you've removed the trans mount x-member, this can also lead to the front cab mounts sagging down and pinching fenders to doors gap.
