thats from my friends.. hes not a body guy so he shove stuff together and not carefully.. my old fender was rotted in the bottom so had to use these ones.. they are rusty as heck! surface rust mostly.. got too deep, i sanded it over quickly and primed it, when i was putting it on, it wouldnt fit. the mounting points on the fender is all bent, i had to line it up the best i can, and the fender is super thin, when i leaned against it it moved in.. too much surface rust, and the back side of the fender is cracked up.. so u get the idea, im gonna redo the body of the cab anyhow if i dont find another older cab from the south to buy. and this winter right before spring im gettin the cab off the frame at my work and redo everything thats rust related..

they are full time 4wd in the front. it came from a 1975 k20 with full time transfer case, my truck is a part time, and half ton rears was manuals.. im converting my truck to manuals since i drive it on streets too.. but yep its full time on the front.. for now tho..
 
oh ok. i should've known that because my 77 blazer was fulltime and it looked similar. wasn't even thinkin bout it til i read what you wrote
 
i got the driveshaft on. it fits good and nicely.. one problem is i got to take it back off and grind the cv a bit more, will take pics tomorrow, nothing today cause when i got the chance to work on the shaft it started to rain and dark, so didnt take any pics. will grind it down a bit more tomorrow then put it back on and take pics..
