Anyway, on the driver's side there's a heavy brace running along the toe board from the floor pan up to the bottom of the firewall. It bolts to the floor pan and the toe board and it looks like the inner fender will bolt to it when we get that far. The passenger side doesn't have this brace, and doesn't seem to even have the holes for the brace to bolt to. I looked at my wife's '54 panel and near as I can tell under the dirt, that brace doesn't seem to be there on the passenger side of that truck either. Is that correct? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,001 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,001 | Correct, no brace on the passenger side. The brace on the drivers side is mainly for the parking brake mechanism. The brace also is where the inner fender mounts. On the passenger side, the inner fender has captured nuts and bolts directly to the toeboard from the inside of the cab. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | There is no inner-fender bracket/brace on the passenger side. The bolts go though holes in the floor, on that side. On the driver's side is an attachment bracket ( fender skirt/parking brake brace ) that is also part of the parking brake assembly. It has captive nuts into which you put the bolts to attach the inner fender. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 34 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 34 | Ok, that's what I thought after looking at my panel, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks. | | |
