1998 Peterbilt 379 Toterhome body line/hood questions

May need new hood bushings and hood guides.
This all is adjustable and very common.

 

+1 and if it is an air ride cab adjustment and other cab bushings also affect that.

 

That bumper sag is in the rear of opposite corner. Think of the frame as an X right rear affects left front and vise versa. It’s obvious that it’s had frame work. So you have 3 to 4 dozen possibilities. Break them down into two groups before the frame work and after.

What suspension is it?
Are all the bushings tight?
U bolts tight?
Spring bent or wrong wedge causing one side to carry more weight?
If the holes were drilled for suspension even on both sides height wise?
If it was welded together when stretched did the rails end up level?

Z cuts are stronger absolutely but 10 times harder to weld and not pull something you gotta be a fitter. A 1/16th is a mile 29 feet away on the other side of that rail.

I’m not saying anyone messed up or anything of the like. It be from previous damage before the work. It could be a simple bad bushing loose u bolt etc. but all questions you gotta cover.

The bumper sag and hood issue may or may not be related. Lots of ol Pete’s got that. Limp to em

 

Hood bushings in the hood hinges

 

The gap between the hood and body looks like the front cab mounts MIGHT be crushed. That's just wear, they are easy to change. Bumpers also have a bit of adjustment to them. If it drives right that's all adjustable.
