Re: Ebay fenders
check the gage of the metal, some aftermarket companies sell really thin, crappy metal. aftermarket companies also don't fit as well as oem. basically, you get what you pay for. I am always most happiest pulling used fenders off junkyard trucks. They always fit and are the cheapest.

Re: Ebay fenders
+1 for finding used OE parts. The aftermarket stuff is ok, but can be easily dinged and difficult to get a good fit. A decent set of used OE fenders will be worth the extra effort of cleaning up and removing any blemishes. the pre-81 stuff might be a little harder to find used, but the 81-91 parts can still be found in most areas.

Re: Ebay fenders
go on your local craigslist. At all times there is a front clip or at least a fender on craigslist for my area.
