This is look at the firewall. The nut in the bottom center holds a rod that braces the fender.

Moving to the passenger side, this is a picture of the fender brace rod. You can see the ugly rot where the double bolts attach the fender to the bottom of the cab.

Staying on the passenger side, I tried to get a picture of the round mounting surface on the inner firewall. You can see the oval rubber flap where the cowl drains (supposedly). You can also see the heater hoses as a point of reference. The hood hinge has been removed.

Okay. More pics. The upper part of the fender then the bottom of the fender where it bolts to the cab. Then the front of the fender at the bottom where the brace bolts on and then the place where the fender bolts to the cab at the top of the fender. Good luck Mike

Note that "L" shaped bracket that is broken? Is that a separate piece or is it part of the fender?
I am missing a ton of metal from the looks of your pictures. :banghead

Man! I can't believe some of those pictures. I guess I'm spoiled living here in the desert. Looks like someone is going to be able to hone their metal working skills. Good luck guys. Mike

The cab I shot pics of is my parts truck... not that the project truck is rust free by any means.
