    Joe, if you're talking about the brace on the bottom rear part of the fender, here's how mine is attached.

    Note that the upper part of the brace is attached to the bolt that attaches the rear fender to the bed side.

    Hope this helps.

    Anyone else notice that Ken didn't take his 50 out of the garage to take the pictures?;)

    Rear Fender Braces

    I really should taken pictures of the ones on my old '49 , what a laugh riot ~ these are brittle and often break , mine did and the DPO re welded it , almost 1/4" off ! as long as it worked , I lift it alone .
