The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop 1946 Rear Fender Dimensions Needed

Specifically looking to get the dimension that the rear fenders (for a 3/4 ton box) hang below the bedsides. Both at the front and rear of the fender(equal distance I think.)

I only have the bedside and fender to measure from. I do not have the running board or apron yet. Although it would be helpful also to know where the front of the fender starts in relation to the front of the bedside so the running board will be correct when I find one. Thanks. 641Workmaster

641,
I don't have my fenders currently mounted but can you center the fenders by using the bedside bolt holes? That would get you reasonably close. And if needed you could lower or raise your bed blocks as needed. I replaced my entire bed(Mar-K) and am using fiberglass rear fenders and running boards. Aprons are metal. I mocked mine up with C-clamps and spring clamps then removed for paint. Hope this helps. Have fun and good luck.

Chev4t6,
I could if the fenders I'm using actually were meant for the truck. What I have are extra fenders that fit a 1 ton pickup. The design and size is a little different so I have to fabricate an intermediate piece. The fenders have more wheel arch and are larger overall. I'll probably pretty tight to the top of the bed I'm thinking. Kyle
