Front fender question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK, so I think I know the answer to this, but just thought I'd check with the experts on here first.

I have a 1948 Chevy truck. This picture shows the rear side of my front fender, where the sheet metal is bent to form the flange that bolts to the cab. Both sides are the same way. I am wondering about the split between the main fender and the flange. This shouldn't be this way, right? I know the bottom has a tear on it, and it looks to me like it just split at the bend from fatigue. But since both fenders have identical splits, I thought I'd ask before I go welding it all up.
