Re: '78 3/4 ton 4x4 FRANKENTRUCK

Feel like a GM bodyman, swappin' shims and realigning the pass. fender! Trying to pull it forward a RCH so it'll give me a little more space for the door to clear on opening. Pretty good now though,...got all the bolts started, the fender tied to my workbench, and using my hammer shaft to tighten the rope like a tourniquet. Hope to start 350 V8 installation tomorrow.
Do check out Ryan's '79 Berlinetta score over on nastyz28.com, "project progress"!
More very soon! Todd.

Addendum: HA! A few bashes with my 3lb sledge, using an aluminum bar, on the rear cab mount of the fender, and I now have a perfect, even space at the door's front edge. Bolted down the initial three points and the rest after dinner. Success!!
