[ACII]

Hello together....

on many sides you can see and buy the widen rear fenders for a chevy pu 47-53....

Had anyone ever tried to widen the front fenders ??

Thanks

These guys have fiberglass rear fenders but I don't see any fronts on their web site. I had actually thought about splitting the fenders and adding a section but decided against it.

you could get fenders from a one ton. They're wider, but the wheel openings are larger. But maybe you could graft the halfton openings onto the one ton fenders? I've never seen it done, so I don't know if it's possible. Just a thought.

1 tons are not wider on the 47-55 trucks. You have to go to 1 1/2 tons to get them wider. I've swapped them from 1 tons to the 1/2 tons and vice versa with no issues. 1 1/2 tons are 4" wider but are also 4" longer with a different hood because they go up higher on the cab as well. Did BEEP ever get his 'Burb sorted out with those fenders he spliced?

WIDE BODY C10!?!?!?! Shades of DTM!!! Can't picture it but I see a wing in the bed lookin like bleachers!!! Just need a German motor and a 110 point roll cage!!

All kiding asid is it possible to stretch fat fenders like mini tubs? Take two fenders, cut the amount out of the middle of one the width you want, split the other in half and weld it all together.

That is all correct. but,I believe we are talking pre-Advance Design here. I've never seen anyone selling widened fenders.

i am not searching for a company who is selling widened fenders...

i just wanna see some pics of a truck type 3100 with widened front fenders..

compared to a ford f100 , a chevy truck is very small....so a truck with widened fenders would get a more aggressive appearance as the F100.

Do you mean F1s ('52-back) or later F100s ('53-up)? 3100?? You are wanting to see '47-1st Design GMs and earlier,right? I posted a thread with a 4wd truck that has widened fenders this morning. They're probably wider than you're thinking. I like them as they were made,personally.

Edit: Never mind. I just read it all back over and see where my confusion comes from. This thread is in the wrong message board.

u r right....the admin guy cancelled my second message in the 47-53 board, so the discussion was already started in this block...

maybe a admin person can move the thread into the right board

thanks

Would love to see this as I'm doing vette suspension and thinking I may want to widen things up a little.

They deleted the one in the correct board and left this one? Look and see who moderates this message board and send a PM to move it.
