1sad521 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 might anyone be able to explain why i have the reflectors on side but absolutely no evidence of them on the other side? im pretty positive it doesnt have anything to with someone shaving them........ i think the only "custom" work that might have been done to it was a botched motor swap:blink: details on that if i ever get a build thread goin:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) I had a 70 521 That had gas tank doors on both sides of the bed. When I stripped it for paint the right side showed evidence of having been re-skinned. Edited October 25, 2009 by Charlie69 Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 It's a 37 year old truck. There is a good chance it might not be stock. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 someone could have drilled the holes on one side and got lazy and never did the other side. i have a early 521 reflector fender on my 71 521 that i cut out a rectangle for the side marker light. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 When you ordered replacement fenders through the dealer a few years after the initial supply of replacement parts was exhausted, what you got was a "universal" replacement undrilled or punched for the various year side lights or emblems. Someone years ago replaced a fender and was too lazy to cut and mount for the sidelights. Quote Link to comment

This is most likely the case. many times i have bought repop parts that are in virgin form. usually called "generic" panels Quote Link to comment
