Looked like a crocodile cut the pattern, too... If'n you want to fix it right, I was recently talked through how to fix my rear fenders here in this Paint/Body forum. I think I made all the mistakes possible (only so others could read along & do their patchwork correct the first time.)  You've got some nice trucks, though. That's one interesting bumper as well.

I'm working on the rust now. I'm getting better with the wire feed so now I don't have to do as much grinding. The hole in the cab corner is bigger than the LMC patch so I have to make up the difference with sheet metal. I think this will be my last truck. I'm getting so I enjoy driving them more than working on them. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 924 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 924 | I used a piece of a correct-gauge electrical box/fixture for the 3" tall, 6" long portion the vendor patches did not cover on one of my corners.
