The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts a little help on a 59 Viking please...

can some one post a pic of the area where the fender meets the cab inside the wheel well..my new toy came with some corrosion issues and the way the previous owner overcame fender support was to weld a large bolt between the cab and the fender on the inside..lots of Mapp gas and a large hammer and alot of muscle later i have it free-the front clip is off and i need to identify the correct patch panels to purchase to make her well again..im thinking some kind of bar goes there like in the front of the wheel well-please assist!

What series is it? A LCF is different from a normal Cab.

Cheers Dyna

its a normal cab thank you

you really need the assembly manual - at the bottom there's a bolt that threads into the bottom end of the brace on the inner side of the fender, and the piece on the cab that the bolt goes thru may have rotted away, or more likely the lower end of that brace on the fender rotted .... for patches I'd say you need the lower part of the brace [with captive nut] and probably the lower mounting bracket .... and likely the lower hinge pillar pocket where the drain is for the cowl vents .... there are also brace rods from the back of the wheel opening on the fender to the cab
