It may just be the dealer I am using. I called and called but they finally said the parts just were not coming in . I may give it another try.

I have a great GM dealer that I have used for 30+ years.
They will try to find me anything I need.

There might be a set of these fenders laying around on some GM dealership shelf, somewhere in the country,... but the bottom line is,... these are discontinued.

I assume the VPI program helps find these parts.

Re: 73-80 gm fenders new in the box

Follow the link below. VPI buys excess parts at a reduced price and stores them . The dealer can buy them back as needed if your dealer will work to get them . You have to have an account with them and the dealer I use said they can get parts through them . He even gave me a price on the bezel and said I would have a small shipping charge. The left bezel was like $68.00 .I have searched several part numbers and they show that they are available but I have not had any luck with my dealer . Call yours and see if you have any luck . I tried to order the available fender and headlight trim with no luck.
