That's the easy part! Take plenty of pictures and it goes back together much easier.  That fender looks to be in great shape.

Thanks for the update.....One thing I did notice....You've got a mighty comfortable looking chair in the background. I hope that's just for your guests. 8)

Not only a comfy chair but there is some adult beverage cans on the table. A man gets thirsty out in the shop.

It's starting to come together. Is that the stock seat frame?

Looks great!!! I don't know how some guys are able to move so fast. Keep the pictures coming.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

If you need any 4.3 parts (free)...I still have a rat pack collection of used parts for them....from my Astro van days.   Always liked that engine...
