    I have ran many miles unpolished, dirty and down right not cared about lookin.
    Then that leads to well it already looks bad so this or that will ride. Next thing I knew I roll up at the house and my ride is a rag. Just food for thought.



    Those straps are bad to gald up on any of em. On a pete you can knock the pins out of the back the take a cut off wheel to the nuts and not damage anything with the sparks. I ain't sure bout IH tbough

    You could:
    Spin the nuts off the front suspension bracket, replace with longer bolts, and make a drop bracket bar off that coming down to the bottom to hold the base of the fender.
    This is the one for my half fenders- which I realize isn't the same at all. I don't have any pics handy of the center brackets on my other truck with the full fenders, which are a lot more similar to what I'm trying to describe for your setup. I'll see if I can remember tomorrow to snap a pic of them.

    Yea when I first thought about blind mounting them I remembered seeing your mount and was thinking I could just do the same?.......nope

    I’m not sure there will be enough room between the bracket and the fender? If I mount off of those 3 bolts holding the bracket I will be in front of the fender unless I angle it back or step it back?

    I’d love to see a picture of your other mount!

    Pinion bearing on the rear rear is shot. Can grab it and wiggle it in any direction half an inch. It carried me to drop off the load, and that’s all I needed.
