Just a word to the wise on replacement fenders

[Olive1970]

Got a set of aftermarket replacement fenders through a vendor at work. I believe the mfr is Gordon which look like they are made in Taiwan, which seem to be better. I am impressed by the factory style nuts and locations which where preserved in the repop. Also impressed by the overlap on the seams as it is tighter than factory, where welds are not used. However, I noticed the fenders are lacking a few plug welds (the type used in everywhere on these trucks) where reinforcement should be. The front lower appears in the pic as going at an angle at the bottom, but is straight and flat as should be.

Thought I would share since I did break out the welder and grinder even before I try to hang these fenders. Probably could have bolt on as-is but if the factory put in the welds, I should too.
