Fender Flares ?
Does anybody know if they make fender flares for our K/5's I have searched Bushwacker/Warn and countless others but the only ones I can find start with the 73 model. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Fender Flares ?
They used to make them, but production stopped many years ago. About 7 years back, some guys were still finding them in the back rooms of shops, but I haven't heard any reports like that for some time.
Personally, I think Blazers look better without them anyway.

Don't do it! They take away from the look. AND to install them, you may need to drill or cut your fenders, or both!

Re: Fender Flares ?
I think I remember Yukon Jack had a rubber set on his blazer awhile back, seemed to bolt up from the bottom of the wheel well eyebrow, but I could be wrong. J.

Re: Fender Flares ?
They were the first things I took off mine when I got it. Another problem with them is they love hold moisture and dirt and we all know that equals rust!

Re: Fender Flares ?
I will probably take the advice of others that know better than myself and not put them on...but I would be curious what they look like ...does anybody have a picture of them on their outfit ?
