Inner Left Finder Fit
I bought my 72 c10 with no inner left finder. I bought a nice one from a reputable source. My problem is that I've never installed one and I believe there is a section I need to cut for the power steering.
Can anyone give me advise on this? Maybe a photo or two of an installed one? Also I'm trying to install without removing the outer finder, Is that a bad idea? Thanks, below are photos of the new finder. |

Re: Inner Left Finder Fit
If the pictured one is the one you purchased it looks to be a RH passenger side the left side should have the cutout already in it for the power steering

Re: Inner Left Finder Fit
Its defiantly the left drivers side. The rear and outside bolt pattern would only fit the left.
I believe that the finder I bought requires me to cut out the power steering section. I also think that the indented part that you can see in the photo is the part I need to cut but, I'm not sure. |

Re: Inner Left Finder Fit
it looks to me like the passenger side too because of the flat spot at the bottom it looks like where it bolts to the rad support hard to tell from pics and have never seen where you have to cut your own slot for the steering and drill holes for the support

Re: Inner Left Finder Fit
Just looked at my invoice, it says Left side. I guess they were wrong. I don't want to say who the vendor is because they were outrageously good to me. I hope they don't mind the crazy shipping costs to correct this.

Re: Inner Left Finder Fit
See how they fix the problem then you can tell us who it is good or bad. We are humans and make mistakes but it is how we resolve the issue as to whether anyone else would want to use them or not.
