wheel flares
doing a scale of my truck & really trying to find wheel flares. i remember as a kid building a jimmy or blazer that had bushwacker style flares, think it was a monogram or revell kit. got a 73-79 front clip with 2 grilles, bumpers, 84 short box & tailgate, interior tub with bench seat & dash, tires & rims, willing to trade all or part of for a set of flares

Re: wheel flares
it was a place called RMR resin, i don't know if they are still in bizness though. they also made a 57 chev crew & a mid 60's ford crew. i'm not sure about the 57 & ford crews, but the 75 chev(mine,w/ 84 clip grafted on), was extremely rare, like under 20 i belive, hence the not belive what i paid. it was a long box crew body, int. tub, dash & seats, grilles & bumpers. every now & then i've seen the ford crew on ebay. as it sits now, need to finish under hood detailing, make side steps, & get some flares
