Title: inner fenders
Post by: 87V20Kansan on February 22, 2014, 10:25:21 am: Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get the front inner fenders out without removing the front fenders? Mine are rotted as most are and I need to replace them.

Also remove anything bolted to the top side of the inner fenders under the hood, i.e. bottle jack, tire tools, windshield washer fluid bottle, battery tray. Then if everything is disconnected, with some wiggling it should just drop down over the tire, then just roll it out. Might have to roll the front or back half out first then the other side. It's pretty easy tho, I've done it a couple times.

Yes sir Jim. You can buy them for this website's store and have them shipped to you! I live in the KC area and two certain "well advertised" truck parts warehouses are right down the street, relatively speaking. These happened to come from the one you see the most on T.V.
