pilou ◊ 2011-08-18 09:57	On 1946 Fords there was a slight gap between the upper part of the gravel guard shield and the rear fender trim srip.On 1947 and 1948 Fords ,the upper part of the gravel guard reached the rear fender trim strip as can be seen here. Reason was the difference in trim strips :on 1946 Fords they were thinner and ribbed in their center , on 1947/48 Fords they were somewhat thicker, unribbed and located slightly lower
