I was hoping someone might know of a place to find an exploded view of the front fender, inner fender, grille assembly for this truck.
I got the truck 3 years ago in rough shape and mostly disassembled, now after alot of work I have it mostly back together but am not sure of the order these parts should go back together. It appears that maybe the inner and outer fenders should be pre-assembled (lot of holes in the flanges that are a bit confusing) and then installed. Maybe lower grille first then the fender assembly and then slip in the welting?
I just don't want to mess up all the hard work getting it ready and painted if I can help it and knowing the correct order and what holes to use would be a great step forward. Hope someone here can help me understand this and keep me from going backwards too many times.
Thanks, Chuck

Hi Chuck, I am no expert on the subject but being that my fenders and cowl are off the truck truck right now for a little repair and repaint, I might be able to help.

The inner and outer fenders do go on and off as one. You will definitley need a helping hand to put the whole assmbley back on the truck. When I get the parts back, hopefully next weekend, I can take some better shots of the bolts that hold the two together, and which holes are used to attach to the truck. You ought to be able to figure out from the cowl fender support a mounting hole pattern and mach those up to the holes in the fender. I put the cowl on first. I plan on getting the fenders on loosly and then slipping the welt in, after some strategic trimming around the bolts, before tightening. I only used the welt between the cowl and the front of the fender when I originally asembeld the truck and that was a mistake. The paint on the cab was a little beat up from the parts rubbing together. I may even use it between the steps too this time.

For sure I'll be enlisting help to get them on. I thought I had it figured out, I was just looking for some confirmation. Thanks for the info.

Chuck
