fender shims

quick question I'm putting my front cap back on my 64 f100 and it is sitting on the frame with new core support rubbers but it looks like I'm going to have to shim the fenders to the cab them new cab mounts sure made a difference but the question is what u guys use for shims??? don't want to stack a bunch of washers thanks mike

A little difficult to figure your question. Punctuation would help make your message more clear. My 66 cab and core support originally used large (2.5") fender washers for shims. I'm unclear on your intention to shim the fenders as the only shims I'm aware of are the cab, bed and core support. The positioning of those components, along with the inner fenders, determine the position of your fenders.
