I've searched high and low for advice on how to remove the drivers side front fender. Mines is rotted to hell. Also has anybody purchased a replacement or just got a used one. I want to get the replacement but I don't know if I have to drill holes to mount it or not.
Anyways I have the two bolts by the hood spring off. I have the inner fender well bolts and screws off. There is two bolts behind the headlight that I've removed and this d*** thing won't come off! I'm sure there's probably some bolts I'm missing but I can't tell where. Any help would be awesome guys.

ha! i'm looking for the same information.
will be taking off the fenders this weekend.

sorry i cannot help, just wanted to jump in so you are not alone.

 

two are up by the cowl
one is at the bottom near where the door meets
on is inside the door opening( will need at least a 12" extension)
two more on top connecting to rad support
two more behind the headlight trim
then the 5-6 screws holding wheel well to fender
hood Hinge bolt inside fender
2 blots holding shone shield to fender in the front
Anything screwed to the fender

 

 

Actually you can help me. Can ya post a picture of the inside and outside of the new ones. Did they come with holes Pre-drilled for install or did you have to drill holes yourself. You paid way to much I got mine priced out for 76 a piece including alignment shims and new bolts.

They should have been a direct fit replacement. NO drilling of holes or anything. $76 is a good price for them.

 

I bought mine off ebay for 82 with free shipping, all holes were pre drilled including all the inside ones. Def not as good of quality as OEM but cash was tight and thy did the job

 

Oem is real expensive you can get lucky at a junk yard if you live in a place where rust is not much of an issue in maine its close to impossible to fine one to match my truck with out some rust bubbles. lmc truck bronco graveyard has dome nice alternatives to the oems for about 55-100 bucks or so and its just bolt right on.

 

Yea broncograveyard has nice aftermarket fenders for 90.00 I was gonna order thm actually. I put both of thm in my cart and went to checkout...the price of shipping was 95.00 for each fender!! More for shipping thn to the buy the fender haha. I didn't buy thm.

But here in pa I have the same problem..we all got tht road salt rust so everyone needs the same parts which makes thm impossible to find in any better shape at the junkyard.

 

yeah it sucks. almost any parts store online is going to ship by truck the fenders are just to big for regluar mail but it sure beats 600 bucks! you can always try to find a parts truck for cheap take what you need and part out the rest
