Re: 72 GMC 4x4 rebuild

Started fitting up the front fenders and have run into all kinds of pesky little alignment problems. Due to the instillation of new poly bushings nothing lines up. The fenders where too high at the core support compaired to the fire wall. So I unassembled the radiator core support along with the front cab support bolts and started moving things up, down and all around. Well so far I have ended up with 1/2" shim's between the front cab support and frame to get the large gap at the base of the fenders to close up. Now that problem is solved I now will need to shim out the top door hing to make the top of the fender and door match up..so it will be back off with the fender to install an upper door hinge shim.

I also installed a new adjustable offset drag link. The stock one was on a steep angle due to the instillation of the 6" lift. Trying to eliminate bump steer.
