reproduction fender

Is there any issues with using reproduction inner fenders or exterior fenders?

Re: reproduction fender

Haven't used them yet, so I can't speak to fitment issues .... but the the $125 shipping charge does come to mind.

just wandering what year your truck is the repro inner fenders ive used fit perfect but outer fenders not so much on a 67 you might have to cut te top of them and bend it it to make the hood fit right other than that idk how well they fit ive herd not bad at all i fixed my origional ones for my 69

Re: reproduction fender

I've tried them ALL! China parts are junk. Don't fit right and don't line up right. On the 67-68 they won't line up with the grille properly. (Front Panel). fIND GOOD USED ONES. Ebay! Goodmark metal especially sucks! They used to be good. Every piece I bought from them was never used. I sold all the parts. What a waste of money

Re: reproduction fender

I have built trucks all my life and when I first started the crash parts were junk but times have changed and so have the parts. The Biggest problem today is finding a real body man that can insatall a aftermarket or GM Fender,Hood or ECT.

Re: reproduction fender

I bought my 68 fenders from Tri-Plus. They fit really well and the body lines are all even. I did have to re-align my hood after installing the second, drivers side, and replaced the hood hinge. Everything lines up real well.

I am very happy with the quality. Plus I didn't have to deal with dent/ rust removal. I just scuffed with 220 grit sandpaper and primed.

First pic, old fender. Second and third pics are repop fender. Fourth pic shows fittment.
