Let me know what you think.
Here is the rest of the Truck.

I think you got it down. If you give a rats ass about your paint, you will want to line the cutting surface with tape. This will keep your cutting device from chipping and or scorching the paint.

By the way, Yer truck shure is purdy! :beer:

Are ya missing lug nuts??

BTW-- I saw a post from a guy a few weeks back (maybe on the BB list?) that's running 36" TSL's on a early 80s Bronco with no lift. He hacked the fenders just like you're showing -- right along that upper bend.

You don't need to cut anything, just knock off the rust.:flipoff2:

Rust I dont see no stinkin rust!:mad3: This is actually better than my 85 F150 that I drive everyday.

Ummm :rolleyes: Yea I am missing some lug nuts. One stripped out on me and I havent fixed it yet. It hasnt come of yet. I figure 2 of 5 missing = 60% holding. As long as I dont get below 50% I think I will be ok!!:D :D

Lazy ass newbie , you wanna chop out them fenders but not fix a
couple lug studs ? What if they fail on road , yikes . Hack jobs rule
and love your ol' Ford , sawzall the piss out of em ' . :flipoff2:

Well if I actually wasnt going to take the axles out to put new axles seals in I would do it soon. :flipoff2: So when I do the axles seals I will put all new studs in! :flipoff2:

I've seen the pics of that stock bronco with 36s.. I really wish I knew how he did it.. I'm running 35s with a 4" lift and I hit everything.

I ran the 35s stock for a couple of days though. And it hit everthing while stock. I guess if your not doing alot of flexing it will work... Oh well.

Phippy, you've got to break out the sawz-all. Look at the fender on the top of this thread. See the green line? That's where the guy with 36's hacked his. That's why he doesn't hit sheetmetal and you do. ;)

just put 35s on and 86f250 diesel and they dont rub anywere. all we did was cut that little ugly piece off right behind the front bumper.
