I don't believe there was any welting on the rear fenders but it may be a good idea to put something there to prevent squeak. The fronts had a gasket with no bead at the rear where fenders met cab. Not sure what if anything was between inner fenders and fenders.

No fender welt on the rear but I added it for the reason as stated above.

There is fender welt on the front and also a gasket set for the inner fenders is sold by most of the vendors (8-piece set, inner fender seals).

Look for heavy duty staples or the holes where they used to be in the inner fenders. That will tell you where the seals go.

I bought a 25' roll of the welt that they use on VWs. There was enough to do all 4 fenders. You have to make V shaped cuts in it to get around the bends.
