Fenderside Left Fender Wanted - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bikernut · 03-14-2009, 04:42 PM

My old, now my sons 75 GMC K1500, Fenderside pickup, 117" wheel base has the left side mounted spare tire. We would like to replace the fender with one that hasn't been patched and I was wondering if any body might know what vendors might have one with the right notch in it for the spare tire? I know that any thing from 73-78 are the same GM changed the fenders in 79-80 then they discontinued this option? It also has to be from a 117" wheel base as the fenders on the 133" wheel bases are bigger. Also looking for the brace that attaches to the bed side just before the fender that supports the spare tire mount, it goes from the side step up to the top rail. My profile picture is the truck and you can see that the spare tire mount is missing but you can make out the hole where the mount goes thru the fender to another brace. thanks for any leads in our search.

thanks N2TRUX for the info and if I could afford it I would support this fine group in a heartbeat, but times are not good now.

$25 for a years worth of great info and a nation wide source of parts. (almost 50,000 members)
I understand the tough times, though. Good luck with your project.

No one makes that part.

bikernut · 03-16-2009, 08:16 PM

since no one makes it maybe some manufacturer should maybe put out a kit to retro some to look like the old trucks. That was one reason I purchased this truck for for the unusual looks and also because it was built by GM.
