Front Fender Alignment

56 trying to align front fenders with the cab.
Inner fenders are aligned with radiator support and lower cab brackets per the assembly manual. When I attach the out fender to the inner fender it is not aligning with the cab ( the front of the outer fender is too high.
Any suggestions?

Re: Front Fender Alignment

Is the fender high or the hood coming down too low based on where the hinges are at on the cab?

The way I did mine was get the front clip all lined to itself and the cab and hood gap set then I lifted the clip onto the vehicle and chased gaps knowing both units were already lined up to each other took no time at all

Things to also consider are radiator support bushings but if the fender is to high then it couldn't be worn out perhaps incorrect parts used?

Also pics are worth a thousand words
