fiberglass fenders?
Does anyone make a replacement fiberglass set of front fenders. something that isn't light duty construction but can handle a normal daily driving life?
thanks in advance |

Re: fiberglass fenders?
I'm a little confused on this one. Can I ask why you would want fiberglass front fenders?

Re: fiberglass fenders?
I don't know of a fiberglass front fender, but I know you can get the entire front clip in fiberglass
whatnow123, normally either for weight savings or so you won't have to deal with rust on the panels in the future

Checked out that US Body site, not a bad selection. You can get an entire long bed (one big freaken piece) for around 900

Re: fiberglass fenders?
I can understand not having to deal with rust, but I made the mistake of going aftermarket front fenders and with how flimsy and light they are, I'd find it hard to believe that a fiberglass fender could weight less.

Re: fiberglass fenders?
Fiberglass rear fenders would be OK but if this truck is going to see a lot of street use I'd rather have a steel fender than a fiberglass one in case I ever get in a wreck

Re: fiberglass fenders?
Try R&R Fiberglass. I bought a set from them for a 40 Chev. pickup & they were good quality.
