Thanks Claus.  Continuing on with the truck....
I received the Osswald front suspension for the truck, and it helped reduce some of the fender gap.  I thought I could live with it, but later I would decide to lower the truck even more.  
The Osswald spring packs - flat.
Installed with the front drive axle.
A little better ride height, but still not as good as I hoped for, as you'll see later.
The next big idea I came up with for my truck was to fab up my own single, half round fenders.  I made a tutorial on a couple different websites, when I got a lot of people asking me how I did them.  These days, I see them popping up more and more, which is cool.  They turned out to be really easy to make.
I was starting to feel a little better about my progress.  The look was improving.  Still not quite perfect, but getting there.
