Inner fender install questions. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Operatorfailure · 07-23-2013, 08:28 AM

When I bought my truck the inner fenders came with it, in the bed. I cleaned them up, bought a bolt kit and went to it. The passenger side seems to fit okay but the drivers side doesn't even seem close. It hits on the steering shaft pretty bad and I don't know where the frame side of the inner fender bolts to. Does anyone have any tips or pictures of how the inner fender fits around the steering shaft?

Thanks!

I don't have pic's but the frame side bolts to the frame where it curves downward. If your having a problem with the inner hitting on the steering you should probably look at your radiator support & cab mounts. When they go bad they allow everything ( front clip & cab sheet metal ) to sag which then places the inner fender in contact with the steering shaft.

There is a separate piece of metal that bolts to the holes in the inner panel to the right side of the shaft. It is about 1 1/2 inches wide and about 12 inches long with a bolt hole in each end.
