Re: fenders

Most people on this site will tell you to avoid aftermarket body panels as much as possible. That's what I have done and even though they all need media blasting and painting, I would much rather go that route than take a chance on thinner metal that won't fit.

In my case, I was able to find NOS or good OEM fenders from the Parts Forum on this site. There is a junkyard in California I can get you the number to and there is a guy in western TN that has a vast supply of nice OEM fenders. I'll get you their numbers when I get home.

Here is one junkyard guy I do have the number to. He is a very impressive fellow to work with and will ship fenders properly, which means wooden crates. NEVER allow a body panel to be shipped to you unless it is in a crate. Many though you will have to buy in person.

I have bought 5 NOS or OEM fenders from three members of this site in person and each guy was honest and reliable and the parts were exactly as they promised.

Ha! I found the guy's listing in TN. I've been there, he really does have all these parts. However, do get a pic of the fenders in question before going, he has had some theft from his junkyard in the past.

EDIT: stepside fenders come up for sale on the Parts Forum from time-to-time. I'll get those numbers just as soon as I get in the door.
