Fender Flares - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know where I can buy rubber fender flares ?

I'm talking about the rubber lip that's 2-3 inches wide and is
screwed to the fender.

Maybe something with the holes pre-drilled ?

Maybe comes in one long roll and can cut to fit ?

Seems like I've seen something like this in the past and the
only thing I seem to find is big fancy rubber ? flares for $100s
of dollars.

Looking for something inexpensive(cheap).

i have a set. the holes are not predrilled. screws arent included. i will try to track down the pics......

Prerunner1982 · 11-21-2003, 04:47 PM

ok found the pics, i will have to email them to myself tonight.. my A: drive isnt working at the moment. let me know how much you want for them. if you want them.......

Jim Molloy · 11-21-2003, 04:54 PM

Can't wait to see the pictures. Are they preformed to fit a
particular fender or can they be formed to fit whatever ?

Prerunner1982 · 11-22-2003, 02:03 AM

they arent prefromed persay... they were crammed into a box.. haha. but i do believe they were meant for 73-87 chevys....i mocked it up to mine and they fit.. dont need to be trimmed. i have the pics on my comp, they are zip and i dont have an unzip program.. yeah i know i could DL one.. but my comp SUCKS and cant hold it.. so i can email them to ya if you would like!

Prerunner1982 · 11-22-2003, 02:43 AM

yeah i know... pics arent the greatest....... sorry

Prerunner1982 · 11-23-2003, 07:57 PM

guess that wasnt what you were lookin for.. :LOL:

Jim Molloy · 11-24-2003, 01:19 PM

Sorry for the late response. Swap meet again this weekend.
I mostly surf at work so this is today.

The flares look interesting. How wide are they ?
How long -total of all the flares are they ?
Looks like its one piece, or am I seeing things ?

Let me know, thanks

Prerunner1982 · 11-24-2003, 11:32 PM

ok let me try to describe these as best i can.. they are close to 3" wide, they will go the entire length of the wheel well..up over and back down. may lack an inch or two at each end. they screw where the fender trip goes.

in the first pic...that is one flare, on its side. the reason it is bent so funny is because it was crammed into a box.

2nd pic is of all 4 flares again on thier sides..

if you would like i can go get exact measurements...

Places that sell equipment for big rigs have that stuff in big rolls and you buy the number of feet you want . It will be cheaper then ready made kits .

J.C. Witney has what your looking for. Pick up a catalog at the store of hit their online stuff and look up fender flaires.

Prerunner1982 · 11-25-2003, 02:22 AM

damn you guys sure know how to break up a deal.........

Jim Molloy · 11-25-2003, 01:04 PM

Also just happened to get a J.C Whitney catolog in the mail last
night.
Saw rolls of this same stuff for cheap.

I was seeking some stuff I could cut to length.

This wasn't going to be used on my truck.

Looking to cut the fenders out on my VW . Lowered springs in
the front and the tires are rubbing during turns.
Figured the rubber flares would be a cheap alternative to new
wider fenders.

Sorry Prerunner1982. Looks like I'll buy an uncut roll.

Prerunner1982 · 11-25-2003, 01:56 PM

its all good, i will probably cut them up and use them for something.
