More New Parts Are Done!!!
Several of us have sent off good parts to be made into badly needed reproduction parts, for all of us. One of the latest that is finally done, are the stepside fenders. I sent the NOS pair to be made into new ones over two years ago. They are done and available! I didn't get an exclusive on these. No venders are getting exclusives on these new parts. The tooling cost is way too high! So, they are available and will be sold by all venders. Enjoy!
There is another item I have been pushing for over two years. Expensive tooling, but we really need it. I provided the masters and they are finally going into design/manufacturing mode and should be available in about three months. This company made me promise not to give out the info until they are done. They don't want a lot of inquiries until finished. Sorry. I will announce as soon as possible. Tip: I have talked about them before. |

Any idea on fit and finish of these new fenders?

Price should be $400 or under each. Try to find them at a dealer where you can pick up the fenders, because shipping should be high. No answer on fit/finish yet, but they should be fine because there are no body lines/doors etc to have to match up to. You just bolt them to a flat bed side. They are done on zinc coated metal. That is supposed to be a better metal finish, if you believe all of the hype on the new zinc coating. I am not sure. Once prepped, primed and painted---is there really any difference what is under all that? Could be...maybe...shouldn't hurt. I don't know how to tell, so I have to trust the "Ad men". That's dangerous.

Frank. my hat goes off to you and Wes for going that extra mile to get some badly needed parts back into production. Let me be the first to say THANKS....and for those looking for parts for these trucks I highly reccommend Frank and Wes both, when I lived in the Northwest I had to oppurtunity to meet both of them.
