    Does anyone know if the "Early Ford Store of California" is closed? Not answering phone for a week now. They are in San Dimas CA. The older gent who I assume owned the place was very helpful and nice. Their prices are often the lowest. Would like to continue to use them.
    And maybe someone can post a pic of this. I cannot find a pic or descrip of the correct bolt top mount the front fenders to the frame, very front. Some kind of a countersunk fastener. I dont see listings for them.

    Are you asking about mounting the fender brace to the frame? Front and rear?

    I'm asking about attaching the front sheet metal (very front of front fender has a counter sunk hole, near the sides of grill shell, slightly in front of that)

    Originally I think it would have used 1/4"x20 slotted pan head bolts to attach fender to top of frame.

    Can someone verify the length on my headlamp bar? 33-34 Ford PU. 38.75" C2C on the lower (inner) mount holes. pic below. Its pushing the fenders out beyond where the inner braces want to land. Can't seem to get the braces holes lined up with the fender holes and the light bar holes all at the same time. Braces appear perfect, un-bent. Fenders not bad. I dunno.... truck was all cobbled up when I got it.
