Remove fenders

[red devils dude]

how do I pull the fenders off the deuce is it just the bolts under the
amber lights,head lights and the back of the wheel well? I'm doing this to aid in replaceing the engine.

 

[red devils dude]

found the TM any pointers.

Unfortunately I have no experience on the truck itself, however when I disassemble stuff like that I like to have ziplock sandwich / freezer bags and a permenant marker handy. Place the bolts from each piece in it's own bag and immediately write on the bag itself what they go to. Keeps things from getting lost and reassembly is much easier.

I do that and I use jar's.

Jed, they are pretty easy and there's 2 approaches. The headlight door comes off with the fender so unwire that as required. There are several bolts inside the fender that attach it to the cab and splash panel, remove those. Now heres where the difference lies. At the front of the fender underneath it attaches to a channel support that attaches to the frame with 4 bolts. Most folks unbolt the fender from that support but the bolts have springs on them and can be difficult to remove with rust and all. I pull the wiring out of the channel and unbolt the channel from the frame with 4 bolts and the fender is on the ground. Of course don;t forget the little things in your way such as horn wiring and air, turnsignal flasher and the like.

got the deiver's side off, kenny going to try the unbolt the channel from the frame way on the other side.

Let me know what you think. I like pulling the channel.

It's easiest to take the whole fender off, front channel and all, we didn't when we replaced the fender on our deuce, and it was a bit tough getting those channel bolts off. Here's a pretty good picture of the whole assembly off the truck (Passenger's Side) You can see where some of the bolts attach

And the truck with the fender off, again, the image shows where most of the bolt holes are

Hey LTR, what's the gage hanging off the flame heater housing?

 

[Recovry4x4]

LTR, this must have been a fender replacement. I can see where one hacked off the air line to the horn. I prefer romving the channel for sure!

my fender is different then low-tech-redneck's
did they change over the years?

Yes, if your fender seems to be flat on top, its a gasser variation. I have those on my wrecker. The multifuel fenders are angled right inside the access door to the frame.

The guage on the manifold is an oil pressure guage, (since removed) that we installed so we could monitor oil pressure of the motor while we were working on it, that way Dad and I could both be outside the cab at the same time.

The fender with the snipped air line was a replacement for the one on the truck that was crunched a bit, Ken threw it in as part of the deal when we bought the deuce from him

can you tell me how it was hooked up? I'm going to add a mechanical
oil pressure gauge for start up on the new engine.

 

[Low-Tech-Redneck]

It was put into the hole for the regular oil pressure guage, when we were done, we removed it, both guages were never running at the same time

Where can you get that rubber gasket or molding that goes between the fender and the part that it attaches to (cab) ?

 

[red devils dude]

Memphis Equipment Company should have them.
