fenders painted and on

Well I got the fenders painted and on. Body lines are fairly good but I did notice something that someone else on here had a problem with and that is that the radiator shroud is not centered now. Its about an inch to high. Thats about the thickness of the radiator bushings. How many trucks run with no bushings at all there. I also had to put spacers at the front of the cab to get the right gap at the bottom of the fender and doors. If I take the bushing out of the bottom of the radiator I can take the shims back out of the front of the cab. Any ideas.

Re: fenders painted and on

Looks great man! I cant wait for mine to loo like that, someday..

The core support mounts are different for 67-68 like others said. They were some thin rubber strip washers instead of the tall bushings. Here is a pic from the LMC catalog, it shows a pretty good diagram of the different core supt mounts.

Thanks for the complements and thanks for the bushing info. I used bushing set for the 69 to 72 four wheel drive.i will replace the front radiator bushing with 67-68 ones. thanks once again
