 ,That's pretty funny ,,, The truth is you may be on to something,, I'm a big fan of the first generation "F" body cars (camaro, firebird) and I know that there were two different plants building the body's for those, one on the east coast and one on the west coast and even though they were the same car, you couldn't bolt fenders or doors from one car onto the other. They just wouldn't fit with out major work. I wonder if there isn't a similar problem with these trucks???

Nice work making the poor quality parts fit like they should have out of the box.
Keep it up.

I know the first gen F-bodies are very different car to car let alone plant to plant so the trucks probably are too. I have owned 14 different first gen Camaro's and every one had pretty significant panel fit issues not due to damage. One car had a passenger side quarter panel that was 1/4" longer than the other side of the car and it was all original with original paint still.

It's no wonder these aftermarket parts fit well on some trucks and not so well on others. Thanks for the input. (14 Camaro's,,,, lucky dog!)

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
so with these body panels are there different bolt holes and spacers as well? and should i be concerned with front end parts? i.e. front passenger fender for my 72? also if i pulled a front end from a custom c/30 motor-home will it fit on a '69 c/20 camper special?

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
So I finally got around to de-greasing the engine and the front 1/3 of the frame and suspension.
.  ,. . And I went back to work on the core support, instead of just drilling a hole through the core base, I made a slot so I'd have some adjust ability. .  ,. . Since the frame is a little long, I cut some off and removed the radiator core support frame mounts. .  , , ,. .

I mounted the frame mounts to the core support.
. .  ,. Then I mounted the core support to the front fenders, and welded the frame mounts back on the frame in the correct location. .  , ,. .

Thanks again guys!!! I had a touch of the walking pneumonia last week but still managed to get some work done on the old girl. It will be nice to have a radiator in her since the HOT weather is almost here. I actually do drive the truck into and out of the shop to work on her, but without the radiator I had to move kinda quick to keep the temp down on the engine. More insanity to come!
