These trucks hoods are one of the hardest, it not, the hardest hoods to fit correctly. It just takes time to tweak it into place with adjustments here and there.

You have to fit the hood to the cab and radiator support then fit the fenders to the hood, then minor tweaking to get the fender/door gap right. Hopefully the burb body won't have the same front to back tilt alignment issues regular cabs have.

This may help, not having done it yet myself I can't confirm. Its worth a read.

As for Buffalo Ent. I spoke with him last week about a front disc. conversion
for my 49 GMC panel. Sounds well thought out. He does cars and trucks.
