For guys that like skerts

Fender skirts are one of those things that work only on a small percentage of vehicles.

Skirts look good on my 62 T-bird, they look good on old Impalas or on classic 50's cars. I can't imagine any good reason to put skirts on a normal pickup truck. I'm not talking about show trucks, they are not really 'trucks' in the true sense of the word. That's not a slam on show trucks, they are something for people to look at and enjoy, not something to dump 2X8s into at Home Depot.

I didn't even realize they made fender skirts for pickup trucks, I cannot imagine too many people actually spending hard earned cash on them.

I agree but there is a thin line betwwen show and show with still go. Around town i have seen old truck completely restored and still people put lumber in the bed or furniture (ofcourse they take many precausions not to scratch it with sheets and such). Also there was a picture here some time ago that had a one ton duel sitting about 3 inch off the ground, but behind it was a car trailer with a car being towed. (usablity with style)

Just a thought i agree with what you said. Cause there mightbe only 5% of people that will ever put something heavy in the back of restored truck.
