Thanks Tim,

Darrah and I made it to the salvage yard Saturday and got our fender.

Darrah took alot of pictures and we posted them in our 60-66 general area.

Got the fender home and did a test fit and was very pleased at the fit.

jason65 · 01-25-2010, 09:13 AM

Looks good.

**Bugeyev8** · 01-25-2010, 12:28 PM

looks like a pretty good fender...wish mine were that good

4dranch · 01-25-2010, 04:24 PM

Thanks Jason,

Bugeye,
yeah besides the little dent up front its a nice fender

**Bugeyev8** · 01-25-2010, 04:43 PM

yeah..I am here in CA the "rust free state" and I ended up cutting two fenders to make one, after looking at the aftermarkets I decided that repairing an oem was better, those aftermarket fenders are junk! I collected fenders for the last 8 years from junkyards hoping to get a good one or two...they all ended up having bondo or rot or just too many dents to make a reasonable repair...what did you have to give for the fender??

4dranch · 01-25-2010, 05:05 PM

$30.00 and he threw in the other emblem.

**Bugeyev8** · 01-25-2010, 05:34 PM

scotts62 · 01-25-2010, 06:53 PM

metalhead922 · 02-08-2010, 10:52 PM

Ryan here (with the '66 GMC Suburban)..

Thanks for the link to your pics.. just one more question.. the rivets.. do you use a regular pop rivet tool? or something else.. its about the only part I'm stumped on now.. haha
Thanks

4dranch · 02-09-2010, 09:18 PM

They are real soft. I just used something hard and smooth on the head side and a center punch and tap lightly. Hope this helps

4dranch · 03-07-2010, 04:07 PM

Enjoyed the sunshine yesterday and got to work on the truck. finished installing both the drivers inner fender and fender. now to the passenger side.

scotts62 · 03-07-2010, 07:33 PM

Hey looks good David! After thats all replaced do you have to replace any other panels on the truck?

jason65 · 03-08-2010, 09:01 AM

Looks like it all lines up good. You and Darrah did a good job on it.

Thanks Scott,
As far as panels that cannot be fixed because of the rust factor.
All thats left would be the passenger side inner fender and the drivers side floor is ruff.

Thanks Jason, yeah everything lined up real good,
