Questions about "New Zinc Coated Fenders" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chaptr2 · 01-09-2003, 06:48 PM

How is the fit of the new zinc coated fenders? Has anyone tried them on their trucks? Has anyone had any experience with either one of the types of fenders and the fit?

Thanks for all the info.

I havn't sold any yet and I am waiting on the repairs to be done on my shop befor I order any for stock. I don't want the new contractors to damage them and also trying to keep the inventory low untill it is done also. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Made from galvanized ZINC Material for Fender Skin. THICKNESS
of fender skin 0.90mm ( ORIGINAL were 0.85mm TO 0.90mm )
-- Inner fender brackets thickness1.50mm thats exactly the same as original.
These were made with all new tooling and fixture jigs. We will be installing another set on our 67 Panel if it needs them and test fit one on a 67 already and loved the fit.
Currently have 67 L&R available, 68 Chevy, 68-72 GMC L&R, currently out of stock of 69-72 Chevy L&R more expected in late January.

Just saw a q re these, so i am sending ttt.

mooneyes · 01-11-2003, 11:26 PM

are they Goodmark? or some one else making them?

keenee · 01-12-2003, 09:43 PM

Yea, I also want to know if these are Goodmark. The Goodmark guy told me that "new fenders" (69-72) will be ready in the early spring. Are these the ones he is talking about? He also said the 67&68 fenders would be done sooner.
Also, hey to Mooneyes4b from a fellow resident of the great Commonwealth.

**GMCPaul** · 01-13-2003, 04:11 AM

Guys I couldn't tell you if Goodmark has plans to carry these or not ( They should though if they want quality), since I have been a Goodmark distributor I have seen Goodmark switch fender manufacturers a few times and in my opinion it was not always because they were getting a better made fender but a better price, and in refrence to

mooneyes4b question
are they Goodmark? NO
or some one else making them? Goodmark is not a manufacturer and does not manufacture parts, they buy their parts from Manufacturers.
