I've got a fairly stock 1937 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup and I have never found the correct piece for that spot. I have been told it is a piece of windlace type material covered in a vinyl or leather of a color that would go with your truck, probably black. I had my upholstery guy make two for me. Basically they look like large pieces of fender welt. They do work good and look good, but I'm not sure if they are correct. I think the 38 truck has the same situation.
I'd like to know if you come up with some more solid information on this question.
Thanks,
Joe

I don't ever recall seeing a gap there... unfortunately my truck is not here right now so I can't go look but to the best of my recollection the right front fender fits the same as the left front with no gaps or holes...

Thanks for your input Joe. I think I'll put that info right up there with the elusive "diamond series" I read about once and we discussed some. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 | A-h-h-h, yes! The elusive "Diamond Series"! I remember that discussion well!

I figured that I would just scratch-build the welting.
Everything is different now...
