The Ford Barn

Having issues trying to get these to line up to the body lines. Got the running boards on, and front fenders. Got the cab height dialled in, but cant get the body lines to mate. Is there a secret to aligning them ? Look at the picture and see. Is it because the half ton fenders dont mate up to the engine closure panels that are from a 1 ton? From what i have read they shouldnt be different...

darkmercury51,
Did you intend to post this in the Late V8 / 1954+ forum?

I don't have a clue, but knowing what year the truck started out as and what year and model all the misc. pieces are should help out someone else.

There used to be a Delete function the author of a post could use but it no longer exists.
