Re: kustom wheel well covers what ya think

no way, not my tastes at all I hate them fender skirts with a passion on anything, never liked them.

If you do though, it's your truck.

They used to sell them once upon a time in JC Whitney for our trucks. You might check out that route.

Re: kustom wheel well covers what ya think

I sold this a few months ago but it had a set of optional skirts that came with it. There was a company that used to make these but I don't think they're still in business.Maybe these can help you decide.I would vote to keep them optional.

Actually it is, the prior owner took that off a 4x4 Chalet and put it on this '79 Blazer. He wiped out the serial number plate by the back door when he repainted it.....

I'd say no. But on a Merc '40's sled ... yes.

Just my opinion.

Re: kustom wheel well covers what ya think

I'd have to say majority rules, and I tend to agree. Not my taste either, but hey, it's your truck to drive so make it the way you want and drive the wheels off of it.

That wouldn't matter either. White walls only belong on a car that fender skirts belong on. If there's no tail fins or chopped tops, then forget it.
