    @Doppleganger and @Randy De Oreo both of your seams and fitment look great to me, thanks

    front fender gap

    sorry, I misunderstood which picture you were talking about for reference. A lot got lost in translation here. The upside down junk picture is 81 and up, you are correct. I thought you were referring to my first picture in post 1 where I was showing the front gap and A pillar mess. I was only...

    front fender gap

    Thanks @Grit dog. Good advice, especially on the A pillar fit. I agree the existing passenger side fender is most likely a overseas re-pop. I will search for replacement options and see how that looks. Thanks everyone. I just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing some shimming or alignment for...

    front fender gap

    I thought 81 & up fenders had lower horizontal side marker lamps? That 73-80 had the vertical ones?

    front fender gap

    At some point in the past 50 years it has been in a front end accident. The Silverado fender badges arent correct for a 73. The inner driver side is white, where the passenger is black.

I think if I remove any shims at the top of the rear fender, that body line would not line...

    front fender gap

    I need some advice on the best way to close an excessive passenger side front fender gap. After reading everything I can find on the subject, unless I am way off base, I think it may boil down to two possible options. 1. Loosen and shift the radiator support to the passenger side to even the...

    New bedsides for 1973 long fleetside

    I am not sure if it is ok to ask about specific suppliers, but I am looking for a pair of new 8' fleetside bedsides for a 1973. Obviously for that year, pickin's are pretty slim. With he prices and shipping, I would hate to get them in and find out they dont "bolt up". Any thoughts? My...

    Sliding Bed back away from Cab

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your input. Working on the lower bedside patch panels right now. Replaced both doors and the tailgate. Very happy with how the AMD doors fit.

    Thank you all very much. I will get some pictures out this weekend. My immediate focus is patching the driver's rear bedside behind the wheel well. Thanks
