Passenger side fender installed

[tanda62]

So how do we know these trucks were built by people and not robots?  Each fender install is just that different and lines up just that different to make it apparent human hands were used not robots.

My passenger side fender went on needing much more persuasion than the drivers side.  A little shove here and bend there and yep it is installed.  Having box end ratcheting wrenches makes this such an easier job as some of the bolts are tough to get access.  I also found on the passenger side the heater defrost hose was in the way so it had to be disconnected and then reinstalled on the heater box.  I also installed the door skirts with new rubber.  More steps closer!

Looking real nice! I remember going through this process even though it has been a few years. And you are correct no robots......just hand work. Mine was made extra fun due to the fact it had been T-boned in the drivers door at some point in the distant past. Things were a bit tweaked....but it all worked out. Get it done and enjoy it. You will be amazed by the attention it gets when it is back out on the road.

Beautiful work.

✂️ Not to sure on that welting though.

Once it’s all done, give it a nice toasty finish!LOL

I've seen a few other trucks like that as well.  Not the look I'd go for, but his truck, his look.

That is the great thing about seeing each person's build. Some of the ideas you will like, some not so much.
