Thread: Got some questions for some of our hot rod builder's about my 1947 International truc

Tweet

I was thinking that, but both fender are torn or ripped at the top of the wheel well on both front fenders.
I guess I can weld them and see how it goes. I will say though from the photo's the 40 & 41 look to be the same shape as mine.
And I thought maybe just maybe International used the fenders off of the other cars, ya know like AMC used to do with miss matching
parts from other cars on to all of theirs. I know wishful thinking but I was just hoping some would pipe up and say, ya they used those
fenders from the 40 & 41 on the International's in 47. HE! HE! HE!

If they are torn it is an very easy fix and easy to weld them back together. Use a mig welder and just spot weld them back together right on the crack. keep doing continuous spot welds until the whole tear is welded back together. be sure not to get the metal too hot a good rule of thumb is if you cant hold your hand flat on the fender about 2 inches from the weld it is too hot.Let it cool and then continue. Grind of the excess but don't dig into the fender material and you should be just fine.
