1955-1966 Wide rear fenders
I'm wondering if there is a source out there for wider rear fenders for the 55-66 style stepside beds?

Who makes the fiberglass fenders? I've seen some for first series trucks but, none for the second series.

Re: 1955-1966 Wide rear fenders
Much appreciated. My google search did not turn those sites up. Hopefully this thread will help someone in the future.

Re: 1955-1966 Wide rear fenders
hmmmm... $730 for wider fenders and steps (not including tax or $300 shipping)
or go with my $10 mini tubs, i cut out the bed side with a jig saw and welded in 3'' wide 10 ga steel you get the same 3'' wider space for 1% of the cost

Re: 1955-1966 Wide rear fenders
I'm running corvette suspension and limited on how far I can bring the wheel in. Plan on running a 12 inch wide wheel back there.

Re: 1955-1966 Wide rear fenders
You are correct. 9.5 is the stock width. I have a custom built set of steel wheels from wheel vintiques.
