Alright, I am trying to get the passenger fender off my 67 c-10, I have take most the bolts out the bottom just a few stubborn ones left and I have drilled all the spot welds out which I am starting to think I didn't have to do, Please tell me you are suppose to, I got the front grill off and the motor out, the cowl is removed and so is the hood and hinge, I got the screws out and am wondering what I may have left??

there are bolts on from the core support (top and bottom), inner fenders. side of firewall under cowl cover, grill, and fron under the truck the is a bolt or two at the bottom of the door piller.

am i missing any spots?

Shouldn't be any spot welds to drill. Did you get around the inner wheel well? Should be a few where the grill would be going into the side. A couple behind where the cowl panel is. A bigger one underneath by the door. Hope this helps.

On my 72 there were no spot welds to drill out. There are I think 4 bolts that hold the front of the fender to the rad support. A few that hold the bottom of the front fender well to the bottom of the rad support if taking off the fender well and fender as a unit. The bolts that hold the fender to the fender well. One bolt on the bottom of the fender that bolts it to the cab. 2 bolts that are bolted to the top of fender under the cowling. If your taking the fender well out there is also one bolt under the fender well that bolts it to the cab.

Exactly what "Dastuck" said, except my '67 has a bolt from the inner fender to the battery tray as well.

thanks for the info I got it off, good thing it wasn't salvageable because I went and drilled out all the spot welds that hold the shell on the inner part
