front fender bolt kit

Do y'all know if any of the restoration places offer a front fender mounting bolt kit? I started taking my son's 54 F350 apart tonight and snapped several bolts off even after them soaking in PB Blaster. I searched through LMC and Mac's, but can't find a listing. Any help or direction to look would be greatly appreciated.

Try midfifty.com, they're easily one of the best sources for parts on these trucks, and they have a flat rate shipping promo on right now! I'd give you links to exactly what you're looking for, but I'm on mobile now..

Any time Matt. That's what we are here for.
By the way, I don't think I have seen any pictures of your truck. Please share.

I do most of my posting from my phone and can't figure out how to post pictures. I have them in my gallery on my profile page.

Unless you are going for a documented resto, most of the fender bolts are best cut off. Trying to salvage them is usually a failed mission. And how about pics?

Not gonna be a restore, just a "fix it up and make it a driver" kinda truck. Has too low of a rear gear to drive it on the road everyday. As far as pictures, they are in my gallery on my profile page. Can't figure out how to post them from the mobile site. :-(

What kind of phone do you use? It's pretty easy with an iPhone.

Great pics.

With Android phones, you need to switch to 'View Full Site' - this gets you to the same option set as on a computer.

That looks pretty good..... usual rust out at cab corners but your floor looks pretty good. And your shorty running boards are excellent ! And you still have the headliner. And I see your truck does not have the optional passenger side sun visor.

Good luck and keep us informed with pictures.
