58 gmc front fenders
I am restoring my grandfathers 58 gmc. Fenders have some rust and dents. Not sure if I will be able to salvage them. Will the Chevy repop fenders work with gmc trucks? I know they have some differences but not sure what they are. Anyone have experience with thudding them on a gmc?

Re: 58 gmc front fenders
on the 57 gmc front fenders that I have there is a divet on the area just above the chevy signal light hole. the divet is where the gmc mustache grille attaches. probably could create a divet if you had to. check that area on your gmc fenders. not sure if the 58 gmc has the same thing going on there.

Re: 58 gmc front fenders
on second thought, disregard the above. the 4 eyed trucks are different than the 2 eyed trucks. better to get info from a 4 eyed guy, haha.

Re: 58 gmc front fenders
I bought repops for my 59 GMC over 10 years ago. They worked fine.
Different emblem mounting holes.

Re: 58 gmc front fenders
Awesome news. Glad they work. Does any place sell them with no holes so I can just make them myself?

Re: 58 gmc front fenders
I can't remember if they even had emblem holes.....
I checked my pics and did not have any evidence there either.

Re: 58 gmc front fenders
A quick google....
http://www.classicindustries.com/pro...ts/t70656.html Picture shows Chev emblem holes, but there is a note that states Important: Emblem holes are not pre-drilled.

Re: 58 gmc front fenders
Sounds good thank you! I have seen before that in the description it says chevy/gmc but have been told they do differ. So just wanted to double check since I heard it from a Facebook group.
