The 30 had a one piece runningboard/splash shield. I dont know how you are going to attach the splash shield, which I presume has been cut from the running board, to the runningboard. If your 30 is a late 30, with the long splash shield and separate running board, then the running board just sits in the U channel of the splash shield. I bet that sounds confusing.

I have the front and rear fenders mounted and they fit pretty well. the problem now is that the rear fenders where they meet the rear of the running board are not correct. the fenders are .5 inches narrower. now what???

there is welting between the apron and fender, but i am pretty sure the fender should be as wide as the runningboard. where are the fenders from?

Bert's online catalog says 30 only year aprons and running boards as one ?
I noticed your aprons aren't install yet
