Hood alignment problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1970 c10 truck and I have a gap where the hood and the grille meet and I can not get my hood to close all the way so there is no gap. Can somebody give me some info about this?

U will need to look at adjusting the striker on the underside of the hood, if it's not pulling down into the latch then the hood would also be sitting proud of the fenders at the front. Maybe post a pic if you can, it helps.
