54 custom rear fenders

[wickid demon]

I want to hear some y,alls thoughts on these rear fenders. I really like it; it cleans up the rear of the truck and flows nicely, but my dad thinks it looks like a car if you have another suggestion, I am open. Thanks guys.

Might need the pics

I like em ....but then again I'm the one that always likes things that are a bit different.

Look like 40 ford or zypher fenders.

They are off 40 ford truck style.a little more dominant on rear bumper and bazinga.

I don't hate it (not as bad as guys who use modern S-10 beds on ADs) but I'm not really lovin' it either. Just my 2c

One of the biggest reasons I like this set up is how the bumper integrates into the rear of the truck. I have drawn up a few different ways to fab the bumper but nothing is really catching my eye the right way. If you have any ideas let me hear them.

I love them.

I like it a lot but the sun viser, extended fenders and other custom work don't work with the donk wheels as far as I'm concerned. That makes the truck look like it's trying to be too many things at once.

I'm not into the other key features of the truck either, I just really like the rear fenders.

I think the addition of the rear tag bracket and the exhaust might actually help. I'm not a big fan of small tail lights. The rear of a custom truck is magnetic enough for those reckless individuals who often fail to have insurance.

I think it is a good look. I really like it.

Not a bad look, but why go to all that custom work and still use a chain with a bicycle inner tube over it to latch that tailgate?

Demon: Listen to your father!

I think they look pretty darn good!

[mr48chev]

It would be interesting if a photoshop artist could take the side shot and put extended fenders (fade away) on the front of the truck that tapered off to the back edge of the door.

Demon: Have a look at what this fellow did. http://www.eckertsrodandcustom.com/images/truck/30.html

There are many other pics on that site which may also interest you.

I thought I had cut mine all up. I like how it flows the bodyline through the fender chevette. I was just digging around on Google images when I found this truck, a lot of the key touches done to the truck make it look like it would have a chain steering wheel on it. The rear fenders just seem to flow with the truck. Mr 48chev I saw a truck that had that done, I will dig around and see if I cant find that pic. It’s not a bad idea I just don’t know if I want to alter the looks to much just more subtle changes. More on just altering certain features to my liking like chopped and stretched but some times I get plasma cutter happy. Thanks for the input guys will see were it goes. This summer I should make some really good progress on the truck. I need to start a build thread but this semester of school has been rough calc 2 and chem. That’s what you get for thinking you didn’t need school when you were younger.

[nebdrummer]

do you plan to do all that work to the cab as well? I like it all.

[wickid demon]

I have stretched the cab 6", chopped 2 3/4 and sectioned the front of the truck 2". Truck looks pretty cool. I am learning as i go on sheetmetal fab. Got a lot of good tools now. Just hope to perfect my abilitys.
