The AD's rear fenders left the factory with the fender welting. I personally like the looks of it and it also keeps the fenders from sqeaking against the bed. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | Mr. Giant,
My understanding is the same as stated in the Jim Carter catalog: Advance-Design front fenters had fender welt from the factory and rear fenders did not have fender welt (on AD and later trucks). However, I do not understand why it was not used - my bet is that anyone who ever removed rear fenders in the last 50+ years put the fenders back on with beaded fender welt.

I will probably install welting at paint time. The front fenders had a gasket type seal but no bead such as what is on the welting. I think those that install welting remove the bead at the point where fender would interfere with hood sides anyway if that description makes any sense. I have not found anyone that sells those seals. Only the fender to inner fender seals are listed as far as I have seen. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 127 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 127 | Thanks guys, I think I will put the welting in THANKS DON | | |
