A colleague and I went out to lunch today, and we were going over the rig and he noticed that the passenger side of the truck, in the front wheel well, seems to be missing a panel that attaches to the gas tank. The drivers side seems to have this panel. Is this something that I can replace? Is it necessary? Why would it be missing?
Yes, you are missing a splash panel, bracket and 4-6mm bolts. The panel is for easier access to the starter and other items but keeps the starter from being splashed with water, mud and other crud. Part number for the panel is 7111611302 and for the bracket is 7111611271/55. The bracket has 2 welded on nuts for the bolts.
A drawing of parts group 21-10 illustrates them, #27 & 28.
You might be able to pick these up from Dennis at Linden Engineering off a parted out truck. SAV also carries them.

Thanks Paul! I was trying to find it on SAV! I will give Dennis a shout.
It looks like you're learning by trial and error with your new Pinz Derek (which is a good thing) and that your dealer in Canada hasn't been particularly attentive to the condition of the truck he sold you (which is a bad thing).
Glad to see that you're enjoining it even thought you shouldn't have had to mess with all of the stuff you're dealing with given your dealer's reputation.
Looking for next new (for me) toy
1974 712M - sold
1973 710M - sold

Thanks.
You know, I hate to admit it, but this is how you learn ...and forums like this, and its members, are awesome. Sometimes I wonder how we got along without them. I have enjoyed every minute with the truck....and the wife is starting to too.
