Removing fenders

Okay, I bought this old '86 B2000 with rotten fenders and doors... but a solid engine.









My current truck, an 87 B2000, has good fenders and doors... but a blown head gasket.





So... I want to make the '86 my son's daily driver and I want to pull the fenders and doors and replace them with the fenders and doors from the '87.

I've already swapped doors on the '87 so I know what I'm getting into but I've never done body panels.

How hard is this to do? Are we talking bolts only or is there some welding?

Any hints, tips from people who have actually done this??

Thx !!

just bolts

yup just bolts - along the top of the fender - front door jam - bottom rear of fender - and bottom front of fender.

There is one inside the fender too.. I believe its under the door jam one.. it got me my first time...

okay the bolts along the top of the fender three beside the fender and door one under the valance one at the front corner of the top of the bumper 2 behind the front marker light and the one on the bottom of the fender at the back right at the rocker and fender meets.

dont forget the one under the cowl

aha thought I was missin one !!!

that's the one under the valance same thing.

yeh theres 1 inside wheel well and theres one where u go from inside the doors

You guys are a wealth of information !!

Thx for confirming I'm only dealing with bolts !!
