Inner Fender

Anyone think if we get enough people together we could try to get somewhere like TriPro or someone to produce an inner fender that bolts in and would give around 2 or 3 inches of extra clearance for us guys/gals with lowered trucks? I think it would be a great idea and should be a very good seller. I know I sure would like to have a set. I would like to retain the factory look under the hood and think this would be very subtle. I am sure the 67-72 guys would buy some as well for their trucks. SOOO, venders, think we can make something happen?

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Re: Inner Fender

I think it would be a great idea. But I think it would be tough for them to mass produce a stock looking piece for that. Great idea though!!!

Re: Inner Fender

It doesn't have to look totally stock, just not a trailer fender in there. I think a trailer fender is fine if thats what people want, I just want a look a little closer to stock.

Re: Inner Fender

I've considered this very idea... it would be tough since they don't fit in there very well to begin with. I think that if it were to be done it should be more like 5 or 6" so you could actually lay out.

Re: Inner Fender

What do you guys think a reasonable price for these? The aftermarket ones are about $80.

Certi fit offer them brand new for 25 bucks a side www.certifit.com I believe the last time I checked

I would say most guys would be will to pay 199 for a set if they looked good maybe even 250 just depending on how good they looked you got to remember that you have to allow for the battery to still be mounted some where.
