57 Fender

I am in need of the inner brace with the mounting stud for a 57 F100,has any one ever seen one.All I need is the lower 5 or 6 in or less.The bottom of mine is rusted out at the stub and the bolt pulls out.The patch panels out there are just the skin
thanks for any help.

No camera,but there is a steel brace on the back side of the front fenders with studs that mount the fender to the cab.

You'll more than likely have to fabricate one.
That's what I did on mine, not that hard to do, but I know exactly what you're talking about.
Those are almost always rotted away along with the lower skin.

I know exactly what you need my parts truck is in pretty poor condition I will check and see if it is any good but your best bet is to fabricate. I will need to fabricate the same part for my 60. Same problem differnt type fender ie turn signal.

I've seen a few where they just drilled a hole through the bottom of the fender and ran a carriage bolt through. I made my own bracket. If you mock it up and tack the bolt to the bracket then you just have to spin a nut on from the back.
