Front Fender Mock-up Part 2

Okay, its been a while since my last post...  I got back to work on the truck today and resolved the modified fender mounting studs from the previous past "Front Fender Mock-up Part 1."  The problem was resolved by cutting them off and drilling out pilot holes where the factory holes should have been on the cab.  It took lots of internet searching to find other projects with good photos of the cabs when disassembled to convince me that this was the right thing to do since the factory holes did not look like they were in the same places as the welded studs.

Offending studs on passenger side:

  Cut off with the saws-all and ground down flush:

 Passenger side studs and cancerous devastation:

 You can see the new holes drilled in the cab offset from the stud locations.  Scary...

 Its starting to look like a truck again!
