I like the steel wheels. Always liked that color green too.

So I just purchased new fenders for my 74 C20 from tkorinek here on the forum, as he's local. I got the newly tooled ones. They're as heavy duty as OEM fenders. However, with that said, I had a bunch of issues with the driver's side fender. Maybe it's just my truck, but the top part of the fender that meets up with the A-pillar doesn't seem to be stamped correctly. No matter now many shims I used, it just wasn't curved right and I ended up having to bend it outward, which I wasn't happy about. The passenger side fit great, so i'm happy with that one.

Anyway, something to keep in mind. And from what I've read/been told, the "cheaper" reproduction fenders are total junk.
