Re: 57 lower front fender mounts

The reason you are having problems is because the PO did it the way he likes it. I hear that alot. "do it how you like it" Anyway the front bottom of that cab looks nothing like its suppose to, if you are planning to bolt fenders on it you will need the correct patch panels in that area. Heres some photos that I found on the site

Just scroll down till ya see the area.
Likely the PO was planning to put a tip up fiberglass front end on it, and thats why he moded the front lower cab area.
