Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 23 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 23 | I purchased the two supports(rods)that attach from fender to the cab body, but my fenders do not have any mounting spots to attach the rods to. Does anyone have a picture showing how these rods attach to the fender. I already have the assembly manual, but it doesn't show clearly where it attaches to the fender wheel opening to see if I can drill a whole or weld on a tab.

This fender was chopped and channeled... but the mounts are in the original positions still. (It was a 56 GMC so you should be close)
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else
