“I only wanted to haul a couple 2x4s..”

“Maude- do you remember which way this fender went?”

Re: Unique rear end treatments

Sometimes you have to just wonder what someone was smoking when they were building a truck.

I've seen the backwards rear fenders before but never liked the look. They guys who had them always had some great story to tell you why they did it that way though.

The Primered patina truck with the big tires (looks like my buddy's chassis with those tires) can be fixed real easy with a bit of work and a pair of fenders. The way he has it might be a bargaining tool to get the price down. A weekend's worth of work and you have a Pro street truck with fenders and a fresh primer job.

Thanks Miracle— if you saw me working on my truck you’d probably say the same thing!

Re: Unique rear end treatments

someone is a studebaker m45 fan. the studes had the fenders backwards from the factory and the number one comment by anyone who is not a stude cognoscenti is "yer fenders are backwards!"
