Help I need parts for C50 Chevy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

T.Matthews · 02-25-2005, 09:14 AM

Hello everyone,

Can someone point me in the direction to get front fenders for a 1970 C 50 chevy? I have tried hemmings motor news no luck. I have called every state in the country looking for theses fenders and even drove 6 hrs into the hillbilly, my brother is my father parts of maine to look at a truck during a snow storm to find the trucks where junk. So please help if you know where I may find good fenders.

Thank you,

T. Matthews

Man, I just sent one for scrap about 2 months ago, I'll check at the yard and see if it is still there. Where are you located?

Longhorn Man · 02-25-2005, 09:52 AM

Which style you looking for? Are the front lower edges of the doors cut off, or are they like our doors?

T.Matthews · 02-25-2005, 11:08 AM

I'm from MA and the truck can be seen on my website:www.tmatthews.net

Thanks for any help you can provide.

hmmm...chopped door...
I MIGHT know where there is one...it was there a little over a year ago, but I haven't wandered into that part of the yard lately.

Not a bad lookin truck you have there.

What part of mass. I am in the greenfield area. I will keep an eye peeled in this part of the state for you. your,e fenders look great in your pics, are the fenders the same from 67-72 or 69-72 like the smaller trucks

There's a savage yard in Haverhill Ma. that has a few of the c-50's.
(Tonys' used auto parts 978-372-8361) You could try giving them a call. It's been a few months since I've been there, and I never really looked at the fenders close to see what shape they were in. If they say they have some in good shape I might be able to stop by and look at them for you.

Welcome to the board!

Best bet is to look for a member in the southern states that can get you some. I remember walking past many in my trips to the area salvage yards. Better get all your parts now, because the scrap price of metal is so high right now, a yard can make a few bucks sending these to the crusher.

**tnblazerk5** · 02-25-2005, 12:41 PM

the yard that i was at yesterday has about 6 of those truck there and i really didnt look at the fenders! do ya want me to look at them when i go back next friday ? i can also call them and ask them to look at the fenders and get a price on them

Longhorn Man · 02-25-2005, 03:33 PM

I drove by that yard I was thinking of (woodies) no dice. It got crushed.

**pound41** · 02-25-2005, 04:16 PM

I was going to suggest the area that tnblazerK5 is from. Southwestern VA/eastern KY/ Tenn. My grandfather drove a coal truck for a living. Those trucks were everywhere. I bet you can find them there. The guy that my grandfather worked for had 20 or so of them and he was just one owner. Who knows maybe there not all rotted away. Good Luck

**tnblazerk5** · 02-25-2005, 05:47 PM

the places name is , little johns auto salvage-423-913-1055 i have no ideal if he ships stuff

i know that theres a bunch of those there and that they are getting ready to crush everything there and if ya call him tell him that robb from kingsport sent ya !!!!!! that yard that is beside that one has been closed for about 10 years and thay just crushed everything there too and thats a shame cause there was all kinds of old stuff there in great shape

Chris H · 02-25-2005, 06:03 PM

I think school buses of the era had the same front fenders

T.Matthews · 02-25-2005, 06:06 PM

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE.

If you have anymore leads please pass them along to me. I think the
bus fenders where more flared out.

Bill · 02-25-2005, 09:38 PM

I have a passenger side front fender for 1968-72 Chevy C-50 / C-60. It was a NOS fender that was painted and maybe never mounted. It still has the GM parts number sticker on the inside. !00% rust free. Paint has scratches from being moved around my shop over the years. $125 plus shipping. I also have a NOS 1967 Chevy C-50 / C-60 passenger front fender (no side marker lens opening) in original GM black primer. $175 plus shipping. If you are interested, I can send photos if you give me your e-mail address. Thanks,

**tnblazerk5** · 02-25-2005, 09:50 PM

i know he does i was just there ???????? in less he has already crushed them ????? i will go over there monday and look . i allso know where sum more are to i will look there too monday or tommarow if i can catch them there

didnt that body stay the same up into the late 70s ? and then around 78 or so they went with that body on them ?

T.Matthews · 02-26-2005, 07:09 AM

WOW you guys are awesome. If only i knew of this site months ago it would have saved me a bunch of trips and phone calls. My email address is tom@tmatthews.net. Could you please send me pic of those fenders?Also what does NOS mean?

Thanks again everyone,

Tom

70 shorty · 03-01-2005, 07:05 PM

That's why I would be investigating that NOS fender. NOS means it's brand new and never been installed on anything. That could be the real deal there!

T.Matthews · 03-01-2005, 07:59 PM

I did and unfortuatly it is the wrong style fender or I won't have been all over it like pigs in the mud.

T.Matthews · 03-02-2005, 02:36 PM

Any luck anyone finding them yet?

T.Matthews · 03-03-2005, 05:13 PM

Where did everyone go?

72gord · 03-03-2005, 07:20 PM

The one I took, a while back, also got crushed

67_C-30 · 03-03-2005, 08:10 PM

I have a C-50 wrecker, and I know where several parts truck are that I get stuff for mine. Which parts are you still in need of? Just to make sure, Are you looking for parts that look like the one below?

T.Matthews · 03-04-2005, 10:53 AM
