If your putting on the street version, I thought that all you would need to do is just bolt on the fender to existing holes on the Bronco. But if your getting the expencive cut out fender flaires, then you can cut some of the fender and the rust off and put the fenders on, someone tell me if I am wrong, because this isn't something I would bet on, but this is what I have seen done on later model trucks.
I'm going with kemicalburns, if you aren't putting real wide tires you don't need the expensive flares, just trime the rust off and clean it up and put some type of liner to protect agaist rust.
Also, if your just going with the cheap one(street flares)I don't think you are suposed to cut anything, and these flares wouldn't solve your rust problems.
Also, just my 2 cents!

I am going to get the cheapest flares I can get. And of course they hide the rust but that's not what I'm going for. I want more tire clearance. My tires rub and I want to be able to not have that offroad. The flares are to make it look not so bad when its trimmed. Because I've seen some trimmed fenders albeit done in 5 minutes but they looked kinda bad. I'll be taking my time but I just think that putting on these flares will hide the fact that they were ever cut. Plus if you hide the rust it will come back for sure..and spread and make a big mess. A buddy of mine is going to help me out. Hey I never thought I'd say this but its an old truck and really I don't care cause fenders are cheap.
