Inner fender mount bracket?

Is there a mount bracket that attaches the inner fender to the firewall on passenger side? I have a bracket for the driver side. I can't find one on any of the aftermarket parts sites. The assembly manual doesn't show either side. Any pictures or help is appreciated.

Drivers side has bracket for park brake between inner fender and cab.
Passenger side inner fender bolts direct to cab

Re: Inner fender mount bracket?

would probably be good if you inserted the year of your truck. then we woudn't need to research old posts.
if its a task force there are little L brackets bolted onto the firewall on both sides. can't remember on the AD trucks.

I was wondering about the same thing.

Re: Inner fender mount bracket?

someone just recently said they drilled holes and just sucked it to the toe board instead of finding the ebrake bracket. sounds simple and i plan to try it

Re: Inner fender mount bracket?

I measured one for someone on here a few months ago but didn't stash the photos in an album. It wouldn't be hard to fab a bracket though.

I'll see if I can dig up those photos.

Re: Inner fender mount bracket?

Here is what I did, just two bends in some 16 gauge. I welded it on to toeboard but no reason not to just bolt it. I did not have original holes in toe board to go by.

It would be a long way to pull the inner fender, given how hard it can be to get the front sheet metal to fit in the first place.

I have the original bracket for the driver side. I just didn't find on in my pile of parts for passenger side. I bolted the passenger inner fender to firewall and it all look lined up. My engine even fit with it all installed.
