inter fenders
As I am putting the front clip on my 58,things are lining up OK.I did weld all the fenders and grill support together and included the inter fenders.well where the bottom of the inter fenders and the cab meet the holes don't line up I did have the brackets off and do to my age I don't know if I put them back on right.could someone get me a picture?
Thanks |

This is true for '55 second series trucks. Maybe a '58 owner can confirm that this is true or false for a '58. Sorry, no picture. My truck is apart.

Re: inter fenders
not good pictures of either bracket, you can see them both, yes they both go the same way, not mirrored
not sure what you welded up, most of the bolts holes are slotted for adjustment purposes you may have a problem lining up fenders and door gaps

Re: inter fenders
What Ogre said, just about everything has to be loosely bolted so you can get the door and hood gaps right and body accent horizontal line to line up with the door line. I had to add shims between the radiator brace and inner fenders/fenders to get the hood gap right and square. Firewall brackets go the same way not mirrored too.
