front fender removal
How hard would it be to remove a front fender from a truck in the junkyard? Mine is dented pretty good along the back side of the wheelwell.
I see the bolts on the topside, and along the radiator support. Are there any hidden bolts that would be hard to get at out in the junkyard? I guess I could just start taking mine off, but I thought I would ask first.

not all of the trucks came with a cover on the access hole inside the cab, i remember that being one of the first things i asked when i joined slicks because cold air came thru the hole before i found covers at the salvage yard.

If it starts to rain, they'll tax the splash.
If you want to fish, they'll tax the bass.
If you plant a yard, they'll tax the grass.
If you don't play nice, they'll fine your *$#!

It's easier to take the whole frontend off the truck, and take it to where you can get air tools to it. In fact, you might be able to buy the whole frontend for the same price as the fender or close to it. The n take the whole thing home where you can roll it around. Don't know what rust is like in your area, but around here, rusted together bolts are the norm. If your lucky, they've grown together and break when you go to break the nuts loose. Wear leather gloves and expect blood even then, when doing it in the field. Teh worst ones are up in the front corner, as some I've run into have stamped spring nuts, that break before coming loose.

only truck i ever had problems with bolts was the one 64 that came from Michigan. most of the ones i have here were built in the SanJose plant and must not have spent much time in any rusty places as the bolts usually come off easy.
it is a whole lot easier to remove the whole clip though, because you have a much easier time when you can see what you are doing.
