Front fender brackets

Hi gang. All is well here. Working on the front clip. I would like a picture if any one has one, of where the brackets for the front fender go.


54 f-750 ( wide fenders)


thanks

On the F-100's there is a tab welded to the fender just forward of the opening and the bracket extends to the second bolt in where the air deflector is bolted to the gravel pan. I would think it would be the same on the big rigs just a longer bracket for the wide fenders.

They are very different on the f700 and larger compared to the f100. I have a big truck here and will get you a few pics

Quite a bit different is right. Are the inner fenders the same as the f100's Kevin?

Yes they are the same. Just the front fenders are different.

There is a service bulletin that addresses the need for more support in the front and the fix was to sandwich 2 air deflectors one on top of the other for added support. I have never seen one done this way but I have the original bulletin showing this as a fix.
