A while back, I asked for advice on the best way to install front sheetmetal
after coming back from the painter. I wanted to know if it were better
(safer) to install it a piece at a time or do the whole front assembly.
While I did get some different opinions, the majority said to put the front
end together and then install the whole thing on the truck. Well, that's
what I did (with a couple of friends helping) and it worked great. The
entire front end was mounted and snugged down in less the 30 minutes. A few
final adjustments and on went the hood. Very smooth and easy. For all those
who provided advice on the reassembly, thanks a bunch. FYI, all the new
paint survived perfectly (so far).
