Seems like the truckandcarshop has the wrong pic, or is just me? I need what is in the bottom pic, the cab to fender seal. I have what is in the top pic. It came with the other seals for the fender that I listed in the previous post. The pics must be reversed. Anybody have an extra speedo cable seal at the firewall? If so let me know. The truck shop only offers it in a kit.
Allan that top pic looks correct, those are sold as a pair and fit the outer fenders, I ordered both inner and outer fender seals, the inner comes as one piece and you cut to fit, on my 65 those outer fender seals had staples holding them on the fender looks like they may have pulled the wrong part

The preheater hose is a good idea.

Is there any seals that hang down off the inner fender next to the frame rail? I didn't take good pics during teardown. Thanks

Decided to start welding on the fenders. They are a lot easier than the bedsides.



I used a Lincoln 135 gas welder that Shannon brought over. It welded really nice.



After welding



Grinding the bulk of the weld with a 3M 1991 stone.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

That looks good on the fenders. I did that to mine that last time it was painted. I thought that it really looked much better after it was done.

I wish I was home to work on mine, the weather back home has been in the 70's. I have been over in Austria and Italy since the 15th for work. It is about 10:40 am here and it is 3:40 am back home...

You're getting closer to completion.!!
