Re: Hood wont close

Let me explain what I have done so far and why the door gaps look like they do .

Cab was not level so I jacked it up which closed up the bottom fender and door gap. Cab still says not level but close.
second thing I did was lower core support because hood would still not close all the way, It would latch but still high on front corners.
plan now is to recheck cab maybe lower it back down a bit to open bottom gap.

Or I will just start fresh, level cab , hang fender and adjust core support to gaps correct. Then try hood with out hinges , remove hood brace bolts on the front and see what happens.

At the moment I am suffering with pneumonia so it takes me awhile to get things done.

will post picks of my next adjustment and see where it gets me .
