Attn: All bagged trucks. What did you do to your front fenders? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well i was mocking up the front fenders to see how things look when i noticed that i have to cut part of my front fender so the tire can tuck. I was debating if i want to cut out an arch that follows the tires, should i cut the entire upper section out. I am looking for ideas and want something that looks really clean. Pics would be great. Thanks alot!

Yes but that would be the easy way and that wouldn't be any fun

. I have already bought the wheels and tires so i am making do with what i have.

I was thinking about doing the radius but i have noticed that alot of them just remove the inner part of the fender and was hoping to see a close up pic.

All depends on if you are going to run an inner fender! Not a stock one but a custom job to keep the mud out. I plan on cutting most of the stock fenders away and building custom inners that look like the 65 style a bit. What are you going to do for hood hinges?

Not sure what i am going to be doing for hood hinges yet. I was thinking about doing the front tilt hood but not sure yet. I have been doing so much thinking about the suspension and frame that i havn't done too much homework on what i am want to do such as inner fenders. I like the look with the removed but i am going to want to drive the truck a little so it would be practical to have them. I am going insane.

On another side not. Have you had a chance to ship out my one man cab lift? Talk to you soon. Josh

I checked out the link that kyull67 posted. Not sure on the inner fender but check out the hinges. they look like Gaylord x2000 tonneau hinges. I think I will have to use that when I bag my truck. My little borther and I were just talking about that

These hinges are sold out of Texas. I forget the name but you might be able to find it if you search under hinges.
