not sure what year truck you have but i've seen it done on an ad with f1 rear fenders. not my favorite look but the owner claimed it flowed better with the rest of the truck.

I do have a chevy pu 51 ...

I am not really happy with the rear end look of the truck,

I dont like the look of the original bed and the rear fender does have another shape / line the front..

Therefore i would like to see some pics with the F1 fenders...in my opinion they look more similar to the front fenders..

Thanks
Achim

I used to see a couple of cobbled together Chevy AD trucks with Ford Beds and fenders on them years ago and never liked the looks of them. Both were country work rigs that were probably done with what they had available and not as a styling exercise in any way shape or form but they looked just like they actually were. Something stuck on where it didn't belong.
