In the last pic showing that hood latch spring, does anyone know where to source one? Mine is missing and I have not been able to find one. |

Re: slammed 57
I have the latch assembly, just not the spring that pushes the hood up when released. Thanks.

Re: slammed 57
well back on the truck here....my new goal is to have all the metal work done by October...remember its a GOAL, not an ABSOLUTE but I am pretty determined here... we'll see. but I got the front sway bar in the rear sway bar will be in by the end of the month... also been looking for rear shock mounts but I could find anything that would work for me sooooo! I fabricated some up... took a while to cut and weld everything up, but they are in. THe Mar-k bed should be here next Wednesday. I am looking for a pair of good rear step side fenders if any of you know of a pair for sale, I know shipping ain't cheap but I need some. but thanks for checking in

Re: slammed 57
Got the new mar-k bed the other day... real nice quality i do have to say. but nothing more nerve racking than cutting up a brand new bed. now I need to come up with a plan for raising the bed floor and tubs

https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/en/ They are not cheap but I think that they have the best shape and you can get them in different widths. I went with 2 3/4" on my 48. Thanks Marc

Re: slammed 57
I wanted to go with a wide harley rear fender. I was going split it down the middle and cut it to the size i needed.. I liked how curved it was and thought it would look pretty clean.....but radius is only 27" and i really needed about 32" radius... so I will probably go with mongocanfly type tub...

Re: slammed 57
I used a trailer fender, you can find them with a larger radius. I split it down the middle, welded a flange on them and covered the open side.

Re: slammed 57
Thanks bud... I did look at those and they look great . but I need them about 9" wide and would have to cut them up to get it there... I just hate to pay so much for something i still need to cut into

Re: slammed 57
Thanks morrie but the radius just won't work and would have to really have to put too much time into them even if i could make them work

Re: slammed 57
Yes Sir... I have been thinking this route as well. Did you weld them to the bed sides or did you make a flange and bolt them to the bed

Re: slammed 57
Welded a flange on the inside and bolted them on. These are wide enough so nothing will bother them, they sit inside the C4 dogbones, tires will hit my dog bones first.
