front body alignment?

I had recently put a new cab on my 90 f150 and now we are having a problem with the radiator support, fenders, and hood not lining up at all..does anyone know and tricks on how to re align them or is it just that big of a pain?

On my 88 bronk, I had to hook a chain up to my passanger fender and pull it with my other truck to get it to line up right. Just losen everything and start with your fender to door gap, then hood to cowl, then fenders to cowl, and so on, start at the back, work your way to the front.

well thats the thing nothing at all wants to come that close to lining up..so i am replacing the core support mounts first and then see how bad it will be to line up everything..anyone else have any good pointers or suggestions on what to do?

I just swapped cabs on my 84 F250 and noticed the cab I used(1990 F150) has enlongated holes for the cab bolts. You may want to check that out and see if tweeking the cab to frame may help.
