- In this video I struggle with hanging a fender... it took way too long and I didn't even hang it right. That being said next video we should be able to get both the front fenders hung correctly.

The radiator core support and brackets is the linch pin ,that holds all the front sheet metal straight. Easy to take apart with one person, not easy to put together with just one
Don't know where you are in Oklahoma. I'm in NE Oklahoma, close to Claremore. All us Oklahoma boys need to stick together. Holla sometime.
Very helpful video. I should be doing similar work to my 1947 GMC very soon.
Thank you! Unfortunately I sold this truck… had to get money for other projects. But I do love that body style.
Love those 3 windows...
Me too my favorite truck of all time. Wish I still had it…
@@RisforRestoration yep I hate to get rid of something and then regret it... Well take care my friend....
You too.
FYI. The entire front clip relies on the radiator core support for everything to be supported and bolted to it. If you do it the way this video’s owner did it then you’ll be putting all the weight of the inner and outer fenders, grill, etc on the fenders where it bolts to the cab. There’s also steel rods that bolt to the cab and inner fenders to help support and align the hood and fenders. Radiator support needs to be mounted first then everything else after.
Thank you! I just did it the way I figured it would go. That’s why I’m my channel description I say I’m no mechanic or body man just a novice car restorer lol. Thanks for the help!
I’ve actually owned and built several’47-‘54 Chevy and GMC trucks throughout my life. My first vehicle was a 1954 Chevy 5window truck that my dad hauled home to me on a trailer in 1986. I was 15 years old and throughout my childhood I was in love with those trucks and studied them religiously because I was so in love with that body style. I was just a kid but the first time seeing one parked out in a field with weeds growing up around it I was hooked on those beautiful curved fenders and cab. I built my first truck at 15 and it was just a frame and body with the original engine and transmission. There was no front axle or rear end. So I spent the next year and a half putting that truck together all by myself. I bought and traded for parts trucks and eventually got it all together and up and running like new. I drove that truck all through high school and up until I got married to my high school girlfriend. We used to skip school together and ride in my old ‘54 to the mall and spend the day together 😂
Over the years I have built a lot of those trucks and sold them to fellow pickup fans. I enjoyed finding them and getting them 100% mechanically sound and selling them. So I know every nut, bolt and every nook and cranny on these trucks. If you or anyone ever needs any assistance or questions regarding what is and isn’t original with anything on these trucks feel free to message me. I literally studied these trucks since I was in junior high 😊
This is my favorite truck as well. It was the first one I ever owned but sadly had to sell to further my other projects. I just went with what i thought was right lol. I do really appreciate your knowledge and hope people look at the comments.
Smile
Sad to say I had to sell it.
those fenders are hard to hang for sure.
Yea especially when you forgot how you took them off. But I plan on getting both on in next video.
@@RisforRestoration correct , my truck was apart for 5 years so I ran into the same problems
@@jeffreylehn8803 this one has been apart since 2007..... I feel bad for not getting going or back together.
@@RisforRestoration I bought my truck in 1980 and I still own it .
@@jeffreylehn8803 that’s a good investment
