fender to upper filler alignment

Post by myoldman460 »

Can someone post some pics of the way their fender meets with the filler panel under the hood. I think mine is bent or just not right.

Agreed, if your front mounts are gone, you'll have a wedge shaped gap at the cowl, and at the doors. The gap will be tight at the top and wide at the bottom. It would be pretty tough to bend that top filler peice.

I'm reading this as he wants pics of the front of the truck between grill and hood? Where the panel bolts to the fender?

skidoorulz, you are on it! The bottom edge of my filler dips down further than the fender. I'm not sure if this is the way it should be.

Sorry, My missunderstanding! I can't show mine cause it doesn't line up worth a dam either!

I moved my core support mounting hole forward 3/16 on the drivers side to line my fender and upper valace up. Worked like a charm.
