Help .... Where Does This Part Belong? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, when I ordered these I was told that they were inner fender dust shields, and that they come with staples to attatch them. I thought that they were to go between the inner fender wells and the frame as other Chev vehicels that I've seen.. They do not appear to.

My question is this .... has any one used these and if so where do they go?

Thanks,

esll.

LMC shows that they go between the fender and cab just in front of the door hinges...

Open your door an look in where the hinges attach to the cab. Those pieces are designed to go vertically inside your front fenders where they meet the door. They seal the gap between the fender and the cab, presumably to prevent wind and noise entering the cab.

Pretty much impossible to install with the fender on.

They are held on with sheet metal brackets.

Pain in the butt to put together too.Unless you have a stapler large enough for the large staples that come with the fender gaskets.
