Goodmark fit well. Typically don't have to modify to fit or expand any mounting holes.

Shipping is ridiculous on this part. $150 to ship??

Find a local body shop or your local LKQ. LKQ owns Goodmark so local purchase will eliminate shipping.

Re: Best fitting aftermarket inner fenders

I have a Goodmark inner fender and the drivers fit perfectly. The passenger side does not. It is a continuing battle. I'm also using Goodmark outer fenders. Let me know how yours fits. Maybe I got a bad one?

A friend of mine bought both right and left front off Ebay for $145. Free shipping. He said they took a little messaging to install, but was pleased overall. Don't know if they are for your show truck or not, but fine for his driver.

Re: Best fitting aftermarket inner fenders

I'm in the market as well. I have two OEM, but probably won't use either. I read these are nice: http://www.autometaldirect.com/tripl...ban-p-479.html

Super mentioned show truck. I'm building something nice, primarily original. Unless someone knows differently, doesn't seem you'd be able to distinguish a difference, though I hear some OER are a heavier gauge steel.

Re: Best fitting aftermarket inner fenders

I got a passenger side inner fender for my 1972 C15 from Wes at www.classicheartbeat.com (site sponsor), and it fit pretty dang good! I am pretty local to where his shop is and can drive there to pick up parts if needed, so shipping wasn't an issue for me. But the inner fender I bought from Wes, fit waaaaayyyy more betterer than the drivers side inner fender I bought 10 years ago. I'd have to go back through my receipts to see who I bought it from.
