The passenger side inner fender panel on my 41 has an L shaped lip that sits just above the frame rail. The driver side has no similar lip, and was screwed to the side of the frame rail. Is this correct? Thanks in advance for your help.

At least that was how it was/is on my trucks. I imagined securing that panel to the frame would eventually result in it tearing since it wouldn’t be able to flex as needed with normal body movements on uneven road surfaces. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 934 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 934 | Agree. Attaching to the frame will stress these more than than the thin gauge metal could handle. They should have some flex as the frame will flex, along with the cab and front radiator that will flex independently too. I notice stress cracks at the attaching points - having seen and repaired a few over the years. | | |
