I used a fender "half" to make a repair cup on an other wise real nice 71 fender. I had bought the panel to begin with for another 70 but ended up fixing the dent with a hammer and dolly. I was hoping that I could get to the end of the page to tell that those were not full fenders and even the front lines aren't all that crisp and clean. I'm glad you discovered that before trying to order some. I own a body shop and do body work all day so the work your talking doesn't scare me either but still at some point you got to figure your time is worth something and see that welding two parts together is still more expensive than two fenders. I know that I am putting cups in some and not replacing all of mine but out of the tree trucks I am building only one fender is not an OE. I have a guy that has been help me out around the shop, he joined here to read some of our postings just to learn he is like a sponge, His screen is YARB and to let you know that there still are parts around, he brought me a GMC fender today maybe one of the finest examples I have seen not on a survivour truck in a LONG time. It is as nice as most of the late model used fenders I get for 99-07 Silverados with the exception the paint is a little more faded. nothing stripping and epoxy primer couldn't fix. Jim
