If it is the lower fender bolt, how about a Grinder.

Still havent found a pass side fender for that truck have you? I got a doorskin for that side if your interested? I bought a doorskin that only goes up to the window posts on the sides but its not a full skin, i just found a NOS doorskin for the pass side so if your interested let me know.

thanks
