Does anyone know how to ID an oem chevy fender and not an aftermerket? Any markings to look for? It is a 67 fender I am trying to find out if it's oem.

Re: Oem fender ID ?
OEM has a rectangle drain hole in the front cup."Some" repros do and others don`t.That`s how I tell the better repops.The best thing would be to have an OEM to compare to look for such variations in construction.Like,the angle of an edge in thar front hem or how far the hem wraps up.They sure have the primer close on all the repops.I can`t go by that.

Re: Oem fender ID ?
This is not the original fender that came on the truck new because it has no side marker light and the other side does and its a 68. It didn't seem like it fit that great but the front end is a little pushed around also. I cant find any markings on it at all to tell a brand or part number. The paint on it is faded like the rest of the truck so its been there awhile.

Re: Oem fender ID ?
Also,`67 fenders haven`t been repopped that many years.How many coats or colors are on it?How long does it look like it`s been on the truck?
