Green Bean those are factory overload blocks. Very common. They are actually tapered about 1/8” F/R.

sharp truck, nice lines I couldn't seem to get the gap between the hood and fender to equal the doors and fender. Hopefully the bodyshop I take it to can fix my inexperienced assembly.

I wasn’t able to get the numbers yesterday badbootbob but this afternoon I’ll crawl under there and get them for you. Take a picture of your gap on your hood and fender and I’ll see what I can do to help you out. If the back is too high you’ll have to loosen the 3 bolts on the inner fender where the horn sits on the firewall and move it down there. If the front is too high, you’ll need to adjust your hood latch up to compensate. If the hood and cowl are level you’ll need to adjust the rear of the fender next to the door up inside the fender there is an L shaped bracket that it will slide on. I’d start there but some pictures would help if you want to save money at the body shop. Their rates can be over 100/hour and they may spend an hour or two on your gaps...

You can go to the website on your phone and do it or you can download the Garage Talk app from your App Store and do it that way( the way I do it) personally I like the app better because it's simple and you don't have a bunch of other confusing things on the side if your screen to look at
