*Rivets On Rear Fenders*
Someone school me on this. I have only seen these two rivets at the arch of the rear fender on a hand full of trucks but never in person. I was told they were factory rivets but I don't see them on old pics of barn finds, old rusty original trucks, etc. If they are factory rivets are they shown in the manual?

Re: *Rivets On Rear Fenders*
I'm not sure why you didn't see them in other pictures, they attach a brace from the outer edge of the fender to the bed side.

Re: *Rivets On Rear Fenders*
Think I may have found a pic. I have the other braces installed. Never knew about the crown brace for the fender because I have never seen them on an AD truck I've looked at in person and only a few online.

Re: *Rivets On Rear Fenders*
The only ones I've ever seen without rivets are where someone removed the brace and welded up the holes...

mongocanfly,
Thanks for the pics. I learn something new every day. That's a good thing.

Re: *Rivets On Rear Fenders*
I'm not so positive that those weren't added somewhere in the year to year fixes for issues that showed up. One of the fenders I put on my 48 in 1973 cracked right about at the top of the wheel opening from vibration and I don't think it has the brace.
It's hanging on the wall in the shed and I can go look in a few minutes.
