O.K., Here's another dumb rookie question for you to help me figure out. I converted my 72 over to a dually with the Arrowcraft adapters. It looks like it will turn out great if I can just find some sort of dually fender to go on the bedside. Has anybody ever made a set out of the short stepside ones? That's the only one I figure will match the body lines. Any info or insight would be great.

Using 67-72 step fenders is the only way I'd consder doing it. I know there are pictures out there. Anyone???

i saw one back in may at the Super Chevy Show in Commerce, Georgia. it had late model dually fenders on it and it looked good. it was all white and had no trim on it. if you're going to trim it out, i think the stepside fenders would be your best choice.

Search Bigblockburris's last few posts. He just posted a pic of a sharp red '69 C-30 Dually conversion he just finished awhile back.
Really looks nice!! Makes me want to do mine that way. As far as fenders go, the repro fiberglass stepside fenders are probably the easiest to work with, but if you can pick up a decent pair of '88-up dually fenders......and graft the 'glass stepside wheel arch in.........that would really be SWEET!!! If you have the first and only issue of 67-72 trucks, there's a beautiful red/ maroon '67 or'68 Texas CC dually with that same "hybrid" fender on it. Only one I've seen done that way. It lets the rear wheel arch match the front, and the sleek lines of the newer fenders really clean up the bedsides, IMO! Kinda labor intensive, and $$$, but sure looks nice finished!

Wow, the pics of the ones with the stepside fenders are just the look I'm wanting. I tried searching bigblockburris's posts, but the search was denied. I'd like to know how he molded the trim to the fender. My plans are to keep it the two tone blue and white and just drop it a few inches as it will still be used to pull stuff. When the truck FINALLY gets done, I'll post some pics. You'd think after 4 years it would have been done by now.
Thanks for the input guys. ![]() |

That is one cool conversion. It'd have been cool if they made them factory like that.
