56 f100 fender alignment rods
I have a 53 f100 which I have had for 30 years and it has the 3/8" fender alignment rods running from the top of the firewall to the corner of the front hood latch panel near the front fenders. I bought a 56 f100 last year, and it has a misalignment of the hood and front fenders. In looking to resolve this issue I noticed the lack of these rods and the front mounting brackets on the 56. My question is this. Are they supposed to be on the truck and maybe removed by a previous owner or were they not a part of a 56? The mounting holes on the firewall are there. If someone can share some insight on this it would be appreciated.

My 56 has them.
You can see them in some of the engine pics in this gallery.
