Title: Inner fenders
Post by: Bitzer! on June 30, 2011, 03:41:44 pm

Hi guys,

It's been a couple of years since I've seen my truck in one piece (!) and I can't remember if anything is bolted to the inner fenders?

There are loads of holes that have been drilled in them over the years by PO's and to tidy them up I was going to delete them but didn't want to waste time if any are needed.

Does that make sense?? I have no cruise, air con etc just a standard truck.

cheers

Andy

The jack bolts to it, and at the front the battery tray bolts to it and depending on the year the overflow for the radiator coolant.   There are 3 hole across the front that connect to the core support and 2 at the back that bolt to the cab.

Nice one Chris, thanks. Super speedy reply makes my life so much easier!

I don't recall having a coolant overflow pot, just the washer bottle that bolts to the inner wing.

they don't call me miggit for nothing!! ;D

You might not remember a coolant overflow, but I would get one.

Compare the price and availability of a stock can vs a aftermarket one

I'm not sure if it's the same in vehicles with air conditioning, but in my 75 with a heater only, the hoses that go to and from the heater core attach to the passenger side inner fender.

again cheers guys, I do remember the heater hoses went straight to the engine, only because I recently took them off to paint the bulkhead  ;) although they didn't look original. Probably another bodge by a PO!
