Can anyone tell me where I can find a Chevrolet shop manual for body part identification and repair? Is anything available online?

What is rear half of left front fender skirt? Is this the two step body part?

This Factory Assembly Manual is supposedly for 1947-1954 trucks; however, it is actually for the 54/55st Chevrolet truck.

That manual takes some getting used to - in terms of finding your way around it. I do not have mine readily available - I do not know/recall how much COE front-fender/etc detail is in it. Maybe someone will check this out?

Hickey,
The COE fender skirt will be found under the fender. Best to dismount the wheel and you should see two panels separating the engine compartment from the wheel well. They are held by bolts with large fender washers. This will give you access to the carburator. Alternatively, you can remove the driver side floor board and work from both the top and underneath the truck. Either way it is a lot of fun!

LOL. I like that answer. Best to make it a tilt cab & forget about it... But that will spoil the fun. LOL

Car chat means talks about Chevy's. All other car makers only build transportation.
I don't work on my cars, I entertain my self in my garage, so my nabor tells me.
