Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England

[ibrown50]

Work on the truck had been a bit sporadic lately so I haven't been very good at documenting what I’ve done.


I finished the front end fender repair, came out ok




The return on the lower repair panel was actually too short where the repair panel joins the original fender so I had to put a small piece of steel in to even it up





The other thing I was missing were the brackets that hold the uppers seals at the rear of the fender. I'd used the rusted out parts as a pattern on the passenger side but on the drivers side I literally had nothing to work with and was completely stuck without them. Sometimes when you're working on US vehicles in the UK you can be stuck for the most simple of parts this was one of those situations. Luckily for me I'm a member of this forum which is full of great people. Rocknrod (thank you Sir!) put me onto Aspen Autos, if you've not used them I honsetly can't recommend them enough, and they suppleid me with an excellent used set at a very fair price.



I've got the inside of the fender coated in stone guard and the fender returns into body colour,, next job is to fit the seals and then re-fit the fender.
