More RH inner fender (skirt) stuff - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Couple discussions out there, I thought to throw this into one spot. This is an NOS RH inner fender. It showed up with two nice dings on top. Seeking recourse, I want to use it. Unless someone suggests differently, looks like they're not difficult to straighten out, I'll let the body man do it

Worst of the dings shown, the other isn't too bad.

Word is the ground strap always fastens to the pre-drilled hole located near the front inside corner of the fender. This new fender has that hole,as do my other RH fenders. Probably a fluke, but the strap was fastened to the exact same spot on both of my 402 trucks, located closer to the frame rail instead. This NOS fender does not have a "drill dimple" nor a hole at this location.

On a side, my original RH skirt has very small/faint stamps at two locations. This new one doesn't, and neither did my LH fender. Who knows.

Other than that some captions.
