1975 f100 hood question

My driver side hood is nice and have an even seam between it and the body but my passenger side has a almost 1+ inch seam from the body. Figured I'd ask the experts what bolts to adjust to make that side come down on the frame more. The seam back at the firewall is nice and even across the back. I'm starting to wonder if it's been in an accident and its pushed it out of whack, although it doesn't look like it. Thanks in advance.

There is a link in the body section of the tech info compilation for hood adjustment guidelines.

But are your body bushings all about the same age with about equal amount of crush from side to side???

sweet. thanks for the info..i always forget about all the other sub forums on the page..lol
i know the front bushings had been replaced somewhat recently, they look almost brand new. I have never checked the body bushings though. something i def need to do. its supposed to be nice this weekend so i might tackle that job, i have been doing all this under body rust removal and paint (why did i not check the bushings..duh) lol
