i am rebuilding the bed on my 53 from parts i have acquired here, there and every where. My question is can the fenders be mount and mounted strong enough for driving with out the runningboard attatched? My runningboards are pretty tough. I have a set of runningboards from a dump truck of this time frame that are in great shape that are on the truck now because the truck came with a flat plywood bed. I just don't have the money to buy new ones and they are almost to far gone for patches. Any help would be great.
Thanks Mac
