EXACTLY how do I get the front fenders off my 75?

What/where are the screws/bolts/nuts exactly? I just scored a set of new doors and fenders, so I'm gonna sand em and primer em, and then throw em on...where exactly are the screws? Any hidden/hard to get to ones? Thanks!

on my fenders theres 2 bolts that bolt up to the cab on the underside and theres one when u open the door inbetween the door n the cab and the rest are on the core in a accessible area. if u take the doors off you'll see what im talking bout easier.

LoL, ??? What do you want to help me do, get in the truck?!? LOL! Naw, I've got fenders and doors, that I'm having media blasted and I'm gonna primer em.
I'm taking these parts over to have media blasted, then I'm gonna get it painted ASAP. (It'll be in primer prolly 6 months...)

Make sure you use an epoxy based primer to seal the doors. Don't blast them and throw on rattle can primer, or you will be doing ot all over again soon...

There are 3 large bolts on each inner fender, and about 11 small bolts along the edge and 3 across the bottom of the core support.

On the fenders there are 3 bolts for the hood hinges (per side), 3 large ones at the back of each fender ( 1 inside the hood, 1 behind the door above the top hinge and 1 at the bottom on the inside under the truck) and about 6 connecting to the core support down the inside and 2 under the hood panel and 2 hidden behind the parking lamp assem.

This ins't counting the 4 bolts holding the hood on.

If you have to remove the lower valence, there are 6 holding it on.

You also might want to remove the bumper as to not dent the fender There should be 6 bolts holding it I believe.

And definiely use some good epoxy primer!
