58 front flares on a tri 5?

Have you ever seen a tri 5 front single headlight fender with 58-59 front flares? Was thinking about it but wanted to see it first.

That might be a good idea, especially if you're lacking clearance.

Be a trend setter and be the first. I think it should look alright.

Yeah, that is a beautiful truck.

Now I have to look for some 58-59 fenders that I can salvage for the flares.

Just a thought. You might want to try a "Photoshop" mockup first.

X2 on the photochop.
I guess i should have saved all the ones ive gone through over the years. Seems like not too long ago i couldn't give 58-59 stuff away. Go figure.
