I am looking for some advice/pictures concerning inner fender wells. I am going to make some for my Faultline Fabrication tube fenders and I am sure there are some do's and don'ts for these things. I am going to mount my OBA stuff onto them and other assorted doo-dads. Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
LocoJoe

I am interested to see as well what others are doing as there are alot of options out now where some sort of inner fender is needed.

I made inner skirts out of expanded metal.

This pic is not the best to show these, but I am working away from my computer with the better images. I have the Vortec computer and fuse/relay center, PS cooler and other doodads mounted on mine. Good for cooling--- not good for mud running :D

I took my old fenders and cut off anything that stuck out ;)

Jack's look nicer, mine keep more garbage out..

Medusa,
What did you use for your upper shock mounts. Are those Ford shock towers? If so do you think that my sway away 14" (2" threaded body, w/ res) will mount the same way?

Thanks,
Joe

Yes, I am using the Ford towers. I don't see any problems with making the sway away shocks fit. I am going to grind some material off the top inside of the tower so I can mount the Bilsteins with the reservoir fitting pointing inward, so the tires don't hit the hose when fully stuffed.

I did a search and could not find any particulars on what year and or model F 150 to snatch these towers from. I would imagine that you went to the bone yard for them. What do you suggest or could you direct me to a link with this information.

Thanks

for the ford shock mounts the part number is E5TZ-18183-A
and they are only about 12 bucks each at the local ford dealer. i think i paid like 8 bucks a piece (with discount) i have these on my toy truck, and will be putting these on my 40 very soon too.
