I have a 1952 M35 and a 1953 M35. The 1952 is being made like new again while the '53 sits in the field and gets to store parts inside it. I also have another rust free Gasser cab/fenders/hood/running boards that are going to live on the '52 real soon.
While prepping the cab, I came across 2 broken bolts under the passenger side rocker panel. I walked over to the '52 and could not find any similar bolts or any evidence of such bolts or even the bolt holes. I figured it was something a unit added to the truck and didn't bother to clean out the broken bolts. The holes on the drivers side are functional.
I painted the bottom of the cab a week or so ago. Monday, I walked through my parts piles looking for something when I noticed the extra holes on my replacement fenders. I walked over to my orginal fenders notice no holes and then I went back and forth a few times to make sure I wasn't seing things. Then I walked over to the '53 truck and it has the holes.
