Forgive me but I am putting the inner fenders back on my 1950 and it looks like there is a bracket that connects the inner fender to the firewall? Is this correct? Does anyone have a picture of these so I can look through my parts? I cant find a callout in my books. Thanks!

I suppose your talking about the two long "rods" that indeed attach to the inner fender, and holds the fender as well, and also bolt toward the center of the firewall.
There is a metal piece on one end that bolts to the fender, and the rod/brace bolts to it.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Here you can see mine pretty good. They actually have a length measurement setting to help align the front sheet metal. If you have lost them reproductions are available in stainless or regular steel versions.

Parking brake bracket? Driver's side only.

Guys thanks for the responses. I was trying to understand more on any brackets that mount the rear bottom area of the inner fenders to the firewall. The one bracket link shown looks like it could be the part but is there one for both sides? The bracket i am referring to would have 3 mounting hole locations to connect fender to firewall.

For AD trucks: No bracket on right side (inner fender bolts directly to the toe panel). The left side bracket doubles as the parking brake pivot bracket.

As DavidF posted, on the passenger side the bottom of the inner-fender is bolted to the toe-panel - I think there are captive nuts in the toe-panel.

Captive nuts in the inner skirt on the passenger side,
captive nuts in the bracket on the driver side.
