55.2-59 Front Fender Brace - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My experience with both AD and TF trucks is that any factory brace you leave off is going to develope into a rattle or cracked sheet metal sooner or later if you actually put miles on the truck.

That one probably isn't critical for sheet metal alignment but every one on an AD is critical to maintaining sheet metal alignment.
