Rear Spring Removal, do fenders need to come off?

Last time I did this the bed was off and it looks like the front shackle pin may not come out without removing the fender?

Anyone confirm this or set me straight please?

I do not think so, I think the fenders stay on. It looks like on my 54 they would.

On BonusBuilts there is a cut-out in the lower bedside and fender to clear the pin. Does yours have that?

No but that's about the spot I think it would hit, between the fender and lower bed panel.
