Fender gap

Post by ChrisC »

This may seem like a dumb question, but is there supposed to be a gap between the running board and the front fender? Fianlly getting th fenders ready to go on the truck and some thing does not look right.
Rhis was an old fire/brush truck, so a lot of stuff was bent up front.

Hi Chris,

Yes, there's a gap. I don't know the exact measurement, but the running boards and the fenders don't actually touch.

regards,
bob

Not only is there a gap, but it tends to be much larger on one side then the other.
