Re: Pre-Runners 73- 87 Any pics

I have a crazy question???? What the hell is the point of a rounded off fender on a square body truck that is lifted anyway? Please help me to understand this concept. It looks dumb and unoriginal, especially the 88-98 on the 73-87body.

Besides the 88-98 on the 73-87, like the red one I posted above what other one(s) are you talking about?

Some people like the look of the 88-98 front/rear ends on the 73-87s, at least when they are flared they don't look too bad. When someone tries to put a stock stepside bed on one though the body lines don't line up, but the 88-98 fiberglass is actually a conversion specifically for the 73-87.
Also when you are flaring and bulging it is hard to keep it "square" like the stock fender.
