Unhappy Confused! Please help!

Ok, so I pull my front splash guard and front bumper off to try and remove my fender that was damaged on a collision. I noticed as I glanced underneath the fender well that there is a piece of the truck that seems to be attatched to the front part of the fender that appears to be bent about 1 or 1 /2 inches. Is this part of the radiator support or it it part of the inner fender? I do not have any pics right now but do you guys think it could be repaired? I hope is not the frame! My truck was hit on the front left hand corner which bent the bumper, grille shell and fender. Thanks!

There are galvanized steel inner fender aprons, one on the right (passenger) side, one on the left (drivers) side.

These bolt to the core support on one end, to the fenders and then to the cowl panel on the other end.

1976/79 F100/350's & 1978/79 Bronco's also have large curved black vinyl inner fender liners.

The hood and fenders are the same: 1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco.

The grille shell is the same: 1978/79 F100/350 & Bronco.

The inner fender vinyl liners are the same: 1976/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco.

1973/79 F100/350: There are TWO different left fender inner aprons:

One is specific for 2WD's. One is specific for 4WD's.

The 4WD inner fender apron was also used on 1978/79 Bronco's.
