Front Fenders

I have a 53 F100 I'm workin on putting back together. Can anyone tell me where the shims on the front fenders are placed. I wasn't aware when I took it apart,till I heard them clink on the floor. I'm tryin to get my tilt hood to line up right and thought this might be the problem. The hood wants to rub on the passenger side fender in the rear and it seems like the hood needs to go towards the drivers side in the rear a little. Also need some info on the radiator saddle heighth.

Can't help you on the shims, but thought I'd throw this link in the thread. I'm sure it will be suggested to you at some point in this thread. lol

My 56 doesn't tilt but the stock location were in three places between the radiator brace and the front cross member. One on either side of the radiator brace and one in the middle of it. The larger one was the one in the middle.
