What CMP does not have a slight tilt? As we have seen, all of our restoration project trucks at the barn have that characteristic. The "tilt" on my HUP was quite noticeable until the body was re-installed. I suspect the same will be true with Grant's rad van.

Once your sheet metal is back on I suspect that things will fall into place, and as you mentioned, the "loose assembly method" may be necessary prior to tightening things up.

How much play do you have in your sheet metal (i.e. bolt holes)?

In any case, getting up close and personal with a CMP shows that these beasts have their quirks. I am sure that you will as always, find a way to make things work.
