I think most of the fitment issues are with the welded in patch panels and I've heard some guy's having issues using aftermarket doors, your fenders should bolt on without too much trouble.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)

So I finally got around to de-greasing the engine and the front 1/3 of the frame and suspension.
.
,
.
.
And I went back to work on the core support, instead of just drilling a hole through the core base, I made a slot so I'd have some adjust ability.
.
,
.
.
Since the frame is a little long, I cut some off and removed the radiator core support frame mounts.

I mounted the frame mounts to the core support.
.
.
,
.
Then I mounted the core support to the front fenders, and welded the frame mounts back on the frame in the correct location.
