I've slowly been working at trying to get these aftermarket pieces lined up. Starting to look like a truck once again.
Also contacted the vendor building my cross member to make sure it's still on schedule which it is..
Hard getting any good pictures in such a cramped space but this is what I have...



There are extra hole in the air dams that will need to be filled, I ordered 56 pieces but didn't realize the sent me ones to fit all grills
so the green tape is the ones to be filled.

I was thinking I needed help getting the hood in place but managed on my own today..




Going to require a lot of adjustment and have my doubts it will be perfect but if I get it closer than it is now I'll be a happy camper..
Right now it's fitting too close to the cab and rubbing the cowl. It's like a puzzle right now trying to figure out what hole needs hogged out..



The contour of the roll over on the hood and fender don't match up either..
Left fender needs to come forward more yet..

Well I retract this statement, they didn't build the cross member to the measurement given them so looks like another will have to be built..
