Front Fender Alignment
 

Hello:
I am trying to put back my front fenders back on the truck and I am having hard time to aligning them. It has been a while since I have taken them apart. If the fender sits on top of the inner fender, it won't line up with front section and if I line up the front section (holes) the top has the huge gap which doesn't line up, if that makes sense. What am I missing here? Is there another part?

First: what have you changed since you took the fenders off? Anything and everything that you changed.

My preferance has been to put the inner and outer fender together off the truck and install them as a unit rather than fight with gettng the fender over the inner fender on the truck and scratch something.

this hole goes on that bolt, sandwiched between inner fender and rad mount

I'd loosen all the bolts on inner fender and fender brace. Get that one bolt lined up, then one at the back , then the one where fender, grill and latch panel all meet, then all the other bolts and fender braces in place on both sides before you tighten any one bolt.

Some people say to match inner and outer fender on the ground then hang em as a unit

I'd say that Leegreen nailed it spot on.

Okay, I figured it out. Thank you guys for the pointers.
The front fender has to go over the inner fender and bolts in place. I thought the inner fender lips will bolt to outer fender (the second picture).
Thanks,

Anyone who gets one of these front ends all together on the first try without taking a couple of steps back because they skipped a step is cheating.

The last time I had mine apart that far in 1982 I was still using the Instamatic that I bought from a buddy in Vietnam after he came back from R&R with a Yachica Electro 35. I can't remember exactly when I bought my Pentax ME super but think I had it when I went to the Chevy-GMC Truckin Nationals in Ogden in 1982. I did have a Poloroid though.

Once I found a old 35mm used film rolls in a box I had had for decades. I was talked into spending hundreds of dollars into getting them developed and when I got them back I had no idea who was in them or where they were taken.

When I drove the 48 to Bonneville and Pleasanton and back in 1998 I shot 25 rolls of 36 photos on the trip and it took me about 3 or 4 paydays taking a few rolls in at a time to afford getting them printed. That is 900 photos. I shot over 1200 digital photos in one day at Deuce days NW in 2019.
