I hate aligning body panels.
Man, this sucks! It dosen't help it's about 1000 degrees out. This HAS to be the worst part about building a truck.

Probably the hardest part of all. The fit of your panels is definately a reflection of your patience.

I put every part that goodmark sells on my truck and didnt have a problem getting the parts to fit. I purchased all the parts for Wes at classic heartbeat.
One thing to remember is that these truck were built to be work trucks and used as such, not show queens. If you ever seen how they alight you body parts on the new cars most of you would **** your pants treating your 30K like that. |

I think that with the new parts they are offering today and the price they charge the parts should fit like what you would see on a show truck !
Take you time aligning the pannels. You will regret it later. Keep a dremmel on hand to make the holes bigger if needed and keep everything loose. Tip: If the fender to hood body line Sucks. Loosed the inner fender tub bolts. The main one is the bolt that goes into the floor support. Once you get everything on rigfht shim behint that bolt the tighten it up. There were some 1/4 " factory shims in there originally. You may need more. Good Luck.
