Re: ad fender hood gap
That AD truck snarl between the left fender and the hood is built in. I've seen probably ten trucks in the past 39 years since I bought mine that didn't have that gap and a couple of those were really high end builds for their time. I'd suspect that the body man put a few more hour in getting rid of that gap on those.

Re: ad fender hood gap
Thanks for asking this I was going to ask the same question. We've been messing with trying to get the hood and fenders right for about a week (couple months here and there).
I suspected they didn't have a perfect fit from the factory.I will have to keep an eye on this thread and show it to the two students I have messing with the front end.
