Help me ID this part

[LDO]

This panel is bolted to the inside of both my front inner fenders.

I need a replacement for the driver side not sure where to get one.

Any help??

my 81 has those..not sure what purpose they serve..
maybe a splash/rock guard??
Keith would probably know..
LMC doesnt show them in their parts diagram
ill look and see if i saved any from one i saved parts from..

I think that is part of the fender and not a separate part. It seems intended as reinforcement but in my experience, is usually a trap for salt, dirt and things that rust metal.

You might be correct, I haven't tried removing it yet but I'll try this weekend. I hate it when the build-in a rot magnet!

Sounds good, let me know what you find out.

I looked in my stash.. dont have one..but it's not part of the outer fender..its part of the inner fender..
Not sure if it's a reinforcement piece or what its purpose is

I did find where it's called a reinforcement brace.
I almost think you could make one fairly easy.. or just do away with it
Also looks like its spot welded to the inner fender
