You could put all the front end sheet metal together then put a jack under the radiator support and adjust the height until the hood fits right.Then leave the radiator support a little low and then add shims to get a exact fit.

frame measurement question
gee ooh,
Page 238 of the '56 F100 manual has a frame chart. Using the top of straight section of the frame as a baseline, the front end 'dip' is listed as 2.75". That is the difference in elevation between the top of the front frame rails and the top of the center frame rails.
Hope this helps in some way.
Adios,
Brett
