what is up with thses fenders

Found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...fCarsQ5fTrucks

What is up with the rear fenders? My stepside fenders, the top pretty much touch the bead rail. Is this normal?

Looks like they were just bolted on lower, giving an the truck the illusion of looking lower.

Re: what is up with thses fenders

Looks like he may have dropped the fenders to simulate a lowered appearance.

There was a guy on here a while back that did some metal work to his front fenders to drop the lip.

Re: what is up with thses fenders

Looks to me like they may be from a Chevy Luv stepside. Who knows where he came up with the two steps. Looks like nice work but it just ain't right. Maybe a midget reaching as high as he could to put the bowtie on the grill and needing two steps to get in? Sorry I'm meaning no harm

Re: what is up with thses fenders

The fenders remind me of a Ford alot, but the 70's front + the lowered fenders makes it look like a dodge to me.

The big wooden CHEVY cutout tailgate is what made me think Ford.
