1935 ford pickup inner fender or pattern

[Rick1935]

Does anyone have 1935 ford pickup inner fenders for sale that are any shape ? Or even a pattern of arch with the bolt holes so I can make a pair ? It doesn't matter what shape bottom side is because I put a later suspension in where bottom of inner fender mounts . I just need to match the arch. Or can you trace on paper and mail to me, I will pay you.

Rick...The inner fender panels for my 35 pickup are currently off the truck where I can easily get to them. The inner fender panel is arched from front to rear on top where the fender mounts with a matching inset arch above the fender mount holes where the hood sides rest. The inner fender panels are also curved from side to side because the fender is not flat where it mounts to the inner fender panel but curved. The front of the inner fender panel has the hole that the brace from the radiator support bracket to the large front fender/headlight brace goes through as well as a mounting place to the grill and radiator framework. I had a similar problem to yours when I built my 37 pickup which is sub-framed and I needed to come up with an inner to fill the gap between the fender and hood. I ended up having to use an OEM inner and cut out the area for the suspension. 35/6 pickup inner fender panels are hard to find. For your project, a set of the 1 1/2 ton truck ones are a lot easier to come by and would have the same top arch because the hoods are the same and you're going to trim the bottom anyway. I believe that the inner fender panels are also available in fiberglass.

Ok , thanks for the info, I thought I saw a picture of a 1935 big truck and a picture of 1/2 ton arch and they looked different at the arch, one had more of a peak , so you say the two have same arch ? Thanks,

Is the 35-36 different from the 37 small and big truck, I found a guy selling big truck inners but he says they fit 35,36,37 but the pic looks different from a 35 small truck on arch ?

The 35-37 half-tons used the same fenders except for a short time when the bumper bracket hole was enclosed on the bottom. The inners for 35/6 are different than the inners for 37. All three years mount to the same holes in the frame and have the same curves because they accept the same fender. The 35/6 trucks and the 35/36 pickups used the same hoods so I believe the curve at the top of the inner fenders would have to be the same. I do not know if the fender mount holes are in identical places for the pickup and 1 1/2 ton trucks, but changing hole locations if required seems it would be a lot easier than trying to fabricate the piece from scratch.

Rick, I have a pair of each and will take a photo of them
matched together, when I get to my shop tomorrow.
Will post tomorrow evening or earlier if I get rained out.

Sorry for the delay. Got led astray yesterday until it was too dark.
Here are photos of my inner fenders.
Two pics show left and rights paired big truck to pickup.

Tops edges are the same size and features. Bottom edge and fender
support bracket hole are about 3 inches lower. Length is different.
Previous owner torched out the smaller ones for juice brakes.
I removed both pairs from 35' trucks myself.

It looks like I need a pair of small ones too.
