Help I need parts for C50 Chevy
Hello everyone,
Can someone point me in the direction to get front fenders for a 1970 C 50 chevy? I have tried hemmings motor news no luck. I have called every state in the country looking for theses fenders and even drove 6 hrs into the hillbilly, my brother is my father parts of maine to look at a truck during a snow storm to find the trucks where junk. So please help if you know where I may find good fenders. Thank you, T. Matthews |

Which style you looking for? Are the front lower edges of the doors cut off, or are they like our doors?

C 50
T.
There's a savage yard in Haverhill Ma. that has a few of the c-50's. (Tonys' used auto parts 978-372-8361) You could try giving them a call. It's been a few months since I've been there, and I never really looked at the fenders close to see what shape they were in. If they say they have some in good shape I might be able to stop by and look at them for you. Gary |

Welcome to the board!
Best bet is to look for a member in the southern states that can get you some. I remember walking past many in my trips to the area salvage yards. Better get all your parts now, because the scrap price of metal is so high right now, a yard can make a few bucks sending these to the crusher. ![]() |

WOW this is more information here that all the 50 states that I called today. I was in Milford ME on Mon didn't find any in good condition. I have some small leads but, nothing positve yet. Yes please if you see them in Tenn. please let me know how good they are and the name and # of the place. I'm from Dunstable Ma. The picture looks good, but the fenders are bondo and roting fast. Everything else is good on the truck ,just have to replace fenders hood which I have and drivers step that I have too. SO Yes if you know someone someplace please let me know. I have been searching for a long time now. I was hoping to have it into paint by march so to be ready for Spring, but I 'm falling behind. Never thought these would be this hard to find.
Thanks again T. Matthews. |

I was going to suggest the area that tnblazerK5 is from. Southwestern VA/eastern KY/ Tenn. My grandfather drove a coal truck for a living. Those trucks were everywhere. I bet you can find them there. The guy that my grandfather worked for had 20 or so of them and he was just one owner. Who knows maybe there not all rotted away. Good Luck

I had just seen a c-50 at chuck and eddie's in Southington, CT about a month ago or so. The fenders looked pretty good if I remember correctly.
I've seen a few here and there just sitting around. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

C-50 Front Fenders
I have a passenger side front fender for 1968-72 Chevy C-50 / C-60. It was a NOS fender that was painted and maybe never mounted. It still has the GM parts number sticker on the inside. !00% rust free. Paint has scratches from being moved around my shop over the years. $125 plus shipping. I also have a NOS 1967 Chevy C-50 / C-60 passenger front fender (no side marker lens opening) in original GM black primer. $175 plus shipping. If you are interested, I can send photos if you give me your e-mail address. Thanks,
|
