Re: Rebuilding my 1977 plow truck

I talked earlier about the issue I had with the early fenders not lining up with the mounting holes on the 82 cab. So what I ended up doing was to cut a slot in the mounting tab and weld a half of a washer on the end to make it solid again. That looked good after I did it and brushed some green paint on it. The problem then was the bolt head hit on the hood hinge when it went to the closed position. I used a stainless button head bolt in place of the regular bolt and then ground just a bit off the hood hinge as you can see in the picture. It is not a perfect solution but most people wont know the difference.
