The size and clumzyness of the 2 together seems like a lot at once. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Install the inner fenders first, than bolt on fenders.

Shoulda asked his truck year first.

When you are trying to line up holes on the inner fenders, outer fenders and radiator support they help keep the swearing to a minimum. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 76 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 76 | yes guys mine is a 50. I didnt think there were mounting holes on the back of them. Will take another look thanks! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 |
Baba (or, anyone else who knows),
What is the name of that style of bolt? I need them for COE floor panels. They are nice for lining up panels.
