On the splash apron, I'd say that may depend on your personal skills or the skills available to you. Either cutting and welding or fabbing a new one. I don't think you will gain what you hope to by cutting and welding though and a newly fabricated one could slip below the grill as long as it cleared a tad.

I have to do pretty much the same thing with the 49 Plymouth ribbed bumpers that I am putting on mine. Right down to trimming the ends for clearance.
Thank you. I do have a new splash pan, but if I cut it up, I would like it to work. Just looking for some ideas, advice and pics of what others have done to increase my own probability of success. A good friend is helping with the truck project and he is a great welder with good equipment.
