Sorry. Didn't think of pics before or during project. Orig. looked a lot like 87 Chevy Silverado's with the addition of large mangled washers gobbed in by ugly welds.

Black pic is of dented torn removed inner fender well from damage done before first repair attempt.

Cut bottom patch to size and bend and form to fit in steps. Must use same patch for both 4x4 and 2x4.

Side patch had one hole to drill for brake line bracket and notch frt. of bracket for frt. bumper brace. Bend and form in steps to fit.

Brace we had to cut and weld at two slight angles to fit without putting major bind on box mounting tabs.

Of course you need to either pull and straighten steering wheel or have truck realigned after job because steering wheel is at about 11 o'clock when finished due to the additional thickness of the patch. Which I didn't do yet or add in to the total $ figures on earlier post.
