Need help!
I am rebuilding a 1948 F47 pick-up. This was not a complete vehicle, cab and chassis of unknown history. The running boards are too high and the front fenders protrude below the running boards. I have attached pictures/measurements of the problem. The cab fits fine and the running board brackets are still riveted to the frame. I can't understand how I can get the running boards lower , or the cab / fenders higher . The running boards are reproduction. But even with just a straight edge, the fenders will be lower than the line of the brackets. Can any of you out there, please check your trucks against the measurements posted here. Thank you!

 

Not sure from the picture, but the under-rib does not sit on the bracket. It should be attached at an angle and they sit between the brackets. That will drop it some...
