Back from the frame shop, need help with body panels
Got the truck back from the frame shop on thursday, now I need help with aligning the body panels. Seems I can't get the fenders, hood and cowl to agree on the right spot and the reveals don't want to be consistent either. What is the general procedure to do this?

Make sure all 4 cab supports are good before going any further. These can cause alignment probs like you describe.

I replaced the body mounts before starting, so they are all good. I just do't know exactly what to line up first, or where to go next. Do I line up the fender trailing edge with the cowl, then set the hood reveal at the cowl, then set the front fenders along the hood side? It seems that they all want to be set at the same time.

Does anyone have a tape of today's TRUCKS! Show? He went through putting together the front sheet metal on Copperhead. (His 67 Short box project)

Any ideas on how I could view the Trucks show? That sounds like what I would like to see. Is it going to replay sometime soon?

before ligning up any body panels, MAKE SURE YOUR CAB IS LIGNED UP FIRST.
