The AD truck puzzle with life size pieces.

I'll guarentee that You will be a long way from the first AD truck owner that takes things apart to put a piece in that you couldn't get in otherwise.

I've got the cab spacing off the stock frame out of the assembly manual and the instructions for adjusting the hood here in this album if you don't have those books. https://app.photobucket.com/u/mr48ch...c-87a31c3a5b15

Most guys have better success by putting the hood on first and adjusting it to the cab and then the fenders to the hood than putting the fender on first. In that comes down to pesonal choice of how you assemble it.
