pushrods and cowl hole won't align

I found the holes above the pushrods in the cowl, but when you try to pull the rocker headbolt or the pushrods up, the hole in the cowl is about 1/2 inch to far to the drivers side. This truck had a fender bender before i got it, i wonder if the body is tweaked enough to cause this. Any one else had this problem?

Motor mounts broken, or cab wasn't bolted to frame correctly.
