Can someone tell me the measurement for the 3 bolts that go through the floor to hold the inner fender .My inner fender was cut to size when the cowl area repaired last .i now have the proper repair and would like to get the inner fender back to its origional form

When I repaired my floor in that area, I tried to use the inner fender to locate the holes from the outside, but missed a bit. It was a giant PITA to get the bolts started in the weld nuts on the inner fender. I don't think I'd recommend that approach, or at least do a better job than I did. I could measure mine, but you probably wouldn't want to use those measurements.

Hopefully another bolter will be able to do that for you.

The problem with mine is the portion of the inner fender we’re the weld nuts are were cut off and new holes drilled to accommodate the brazed cowl and floor even a measurement from a inner fender would be a help. Kevin I am sure yours are close enough your work is exceptional.

I could get those for you if no one else chimes in. The truck is under a cover right now, so I'd have to get that off to get either in the cab or roll under on a creeper. No snow right now (it all melted off the driveway. ) Getting the measurements off the inner fender would likely be easiest. I'll see what I can figure out.

Let me know if this helps or feel free to ask me to do more to give you the iinformation that you need. Enclosed are 3 pictures that might help.
1. The passenger side holes in the kick board with ruler.
2. The p-side inner fender holes with ruler, as measured from the outside edge of the inner fender
3. Picture of the bottom of the last hole in a replacement P-side inner fender

all 3 holes are 4.5 iinches center-to-center from each other.

This is from a 1952 3100. I THINK yours is a 54 so I do not know if there are differences.

Gib70, Thanks The measurements should get me there thank you.Also Kevin thanks you don’t have to crawl under the tarp thanks .

After reading your first note more thoroughly, it appears that you want to know more about the holes in the kickboard and not o much the inner fender. I noticed when I lead out the magnetic ruler that the middle hole in the kickboard semed a little more to the outside edge of the truck than the bottom and top holes. Anyway, if there is more I can do to help, just let me know.

Pat, Thanks much for helping Kevinski out. Me too, as I don't have to go out in the cold and measure mine.

It looks like your inner fenders might be repops, as there aren't weld nuts on them like the originals. The oblong holes would make it easier to line them up, but would make installation a 2-person job (unless you have REALLY long arms with extra elbows ) as you'd need to put nuts on the outside and somehow get them tightened. If you'd like some weld nuts to put on those, just let me know.

Kevin... actualy, I am using the original inner fenders on my truck build. I bought a repop so that I could figure out how much to cut off the originals, to fit my build. The idea was to butcher a repop until I liked what I had done and then to duplicate that on both of the originals. I will run down and send you a picture of how I cut up the original inner fenders to fit my custom frame.
