I need a passenger side fender and was wondering what experience you all have had with repop fenders. There's a post recently trashing repop doors and I was wondering if the fenders are better.

I have installed a pair of reproduction fenders on a truck I had. they didn't fit as well as you would think they should ( if you were going to tool up to make them wouldn't you at the very least test the fit?) I paid $120.00 each and with some work they don't look as bad as front end damage. buy good used parts IMO, they fit and will save you a lot of time/ problems cheers, Pat

What brand were they?

Triplus fenders are the best fit and what we sell. I have used them on several trucks. Keep in mind that there are 5 different manufacturers of these parts and all of the other brands are cheaper in cost and quality. WES
