slanted bumper/grill
Hi there,
About a year ago I rear ended another vehicle (F#$% me), anyway a very reputable body shop did the repairs. Both new front quarters, hood, bumper, and headlight bezzels. My frame was slightly bent as well and was straightened out by the body shop. One of my friends just recently commented that my bumper was not level (passenger lower than driver) and upon closer examination it appears the painted molding between the bumper and grill is the piece that is not level (gap different on both sides between the bumper and painted molding). It has been a year since the work so I really do not want to go back and probably pay them to look at it. I am really not sure how all those pieces are connected and whether it would be difficult for to straighten things out without taking panel off etc... Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1986 F150 302 EFI 4X4. The truck is in excellent condition so this is kinda bugging me.

Sorry, I do not have a camera for a picture. I have measured each bumper on level ground, it appears they are even on both sides The piece that I think is slanted is the painted metal piece that fills in the gap between the bumper and the grill (not sure what it is called), I am not sure how this piece is attached, perhaps to both quarter panels. Not sure if this helps or not.
