Yet another discovery... The PO never hooked up the rear fender brace on the driver side (section was replaced and he never bothered). I kept having a bad rattling when I was accelerating- it was driving me NUTS... After MUCH exploration, I found out the fender was vibrating and resonating in the cab.

I ordered a new brace since the old one was rusted out. As I GENTLY tried to align the fender to the brace, the *()$* thing split down the entire weld seam. Split the paint and now I have another eyesore to focus on. So the weld seam is basically visible from the fender to the doorwell..
