Just wondering what tools I will need to do this...or if anyone has any advice...thanks...ryan

 

DO what?

 

if all you are doing is trimming the fender for bumper clearance, used this sort of thing on my '81


edit: just saw your sig you are over in Iraq: from on old Veteran, thanks for serving...

 

Well yeah, do what times 2..? umm, x2 what rob said though..

 

I'm just about to do that same cut, but am wondering if I need to attach the fender's in some way there, or just let it fly?

 

mine is trimmed too and your question had me wondering about the support of the fender:

There is the head light mounting area (core support?) that seems to brace that area of the front fender pretty good, no wobbles:

 

Thanks...also should i leave a little excess...then grind it off?

Oh..yeah sure am...Ima month out from home...just trying to get all the info I need...Thank you...ryan

 

That's my truck. Here's a pic. I used some scrap 16ga that had a 180 rolled edge and cut, welded to fit.
