repro inner fenders - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

***Liz*** · 09-09-2002, 09:40 PM

I need to get some repro inner fenders for the 69. I want to pick them up at Charolette this weekend and was wondering if ya'll could give me some opinions on the repro ones. Are they decent or not? Good bad or indiferent, if you have had any experience with them could ya tell me your views.
Thanks

Can't help...but I can TTT it.
I can also show you how we reproduce them around here...

Did you try your local GM dealer, they might have some, i got some a couple years ago.

JimKshortstep4x4 · 09-10-2002, 06:42 AM

The reproductions that I have seen look good, but we have not used one yet. We are getting close to trying them because
"reproducible" stock is pretty well depleted here in Michigan.

Longhorn's picture sure looks familiar as we have repaired every liner that we have.

I put a pair on my truck and they fit great. They feel a bit thin but after you paint them and undercoat them, they feel "normal".

I remember that, "gulp", made in Taiwan sticker though.

I really hate to put Taiwan stuff on my Chevy but...

We have G.M. NOS and reproductions, the reproductions are great quality and fit for the money.

*Gee_Emm* · 09-10-2002, 08:58 AM

The ones I got from GM cost 129.00CDN each which equals out to around $80 each in USD

Shouldn't you be using a bigger pot to plant that fender in if you want a good crop?...LOL

***Liz*** · 09-10-2002, 11:02 AM

Thanks for all your input. I know nos would be best. I will try the dealer GeeEmm but I live in hillbilly land and its hard to even get an answer on anything from the dealers around here. I've dealt with 2 chevy dealerships around here and unfortunately my three yr old has more knowledge then either parts guy there. I am glad to hear they worked great Bob, but your right the little taiwan sticker does give ya the chills when you look at it.

Well if anyone else has used them keep it coming please. I appreciate all the input and info thus far.

Oh and Andy , isn't that a Smirnoff Ice botlle, what part does that play in the home repop buisiness

hehe

Yes Liz, it is a Smirnoff Ice bottle, that part comes in under 'the wife was home and driving me frikken crazy".

*Gee_Emm* · 09-10-2002, 11:44 PM

I can check the fenders tommorow to see if they still have part number on them. I tried looking it up in the GM parts book but that thing is almost impossible to figure out sometimes.

speeddemon · 09-11-2002, 12:22 AM

MHC......... I have a set on a front end that I got from a board member. they look to be in pretty good shape but I have not looked at them to close because I will not be needing them. I will be in charlotte this weekend also if you are interested let me know.

If you need Chevy/GMC official part numbers you can look here

http://www.gm-restorationparts.com

This is the location of GMs restoration parts. You can buy them from your local GM dealer or order them from the GM web site. These are the licensed parts that you will buy from vendors too. Few people know, but the GM restoration parts are the same parts sold by most vendors here. BUT make sure the parts you buy from a vendor has the GM Restoration approval, many cheaper parts are sold. If you are going to spend your hard earned money on repo parts make sure you get the best.

Where is Parkton? I am originally from Asheville and that is about as hillbilly as you can get.

***Liz*** · 09-11-2002, 03:38 PM

Gee Emm thanks for the part # now at least I can research it a lil easier

Speeddemon will be in Charolette on Sat only, pm HEAVY CHEVY or I if your interested in meeting up somewhere at the show.

KingParts thanks for the info and pm

Jim, Parkton is exit 30 on 95. Between Fort Bragg and Lumberton. Pretty much country, but we do have a blinking light and general store

Andy, good answer

lol
