Do the running board attach directly to the braces on the frame? Are there any other brackets?
I need to know how many braces attach to the fenders? I have a few but don't know which ones I need.....
PICTURES ANYBODY
HELP!!!!!!!

I didnt take any pics but on my 52 the runnin boards bolt directly to the 3 brackets attached to the frame and then 3 bolts through the lower section of the rear fender with a gasket between.
the only thing I did was start all the nuts on the frame brackets then slipped in the gasket on the rear fender and alighned the runnin board for a nice fit and snugged up those 3 fender bolts then proceeded tighten up the rest..it went pretty smooth.
As far as any additional brackets????..mine did not have any and still does not.
Hope this helps.

The fenders front and rear each have one brace at the rear to the frame. You can get them from LMC cheap but are also easy to make | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 205 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 205 | Perfect thats kinda what I thought.
Anybody have anypics of the fender suppors?
