Spent a lot of time on this forum (and a couple of others) asking questions about the front end of my pan. Finally got it assembled yesterday and thought I share a pic. Thanks all for the input.

Is that the correct one-year-only front fender that the brackets are spot-welded and not riveted? (Sorry Dave, I had to ask, but I know it is...)
Forgot to add that it's looking real nice, Dave! It must feel good to start making some real progress! I am envious.....
Thanks for the pics, keep 'em coming!
Yes Chris they are. When I painted them I made sure not to cover the numbers. Mine are stamped on the top inside. Seen others that looked raised and appear on the inside length of the slider.

Big, you bet! The welds had come loose in a couple of spots but I have a very good machinist/welder. Used his dad in the 70s and 80s. His son now does the work and is every bit as meticulous as his dad.
Now the question is are you using the correct front brake backing plate with the -48 casting number on it?

Damn...the casting number is 44139-49. Has a vent hole on the bottom at about the 5 o'clock position. So, there is one earlier w/ a -48 stamping? What's the difference please?
Reason I am curious is that I have a front backing plate on the roller (pictured in the corner) that has no vent hole. Now I'm wondering if it might be the one you are referring to.

It is a casting number, not a stamping.
It has been a long time since I looked at one so I can't tell you the difference. But you can bet there is one. I do have the -49 and -69 backing plates in my stash now.
