Fender pics

Does anyone have a picture of a perfect 81-87 front fender they could share. I am looking for a side shot from the inside so that I can see the correct line of the fender. My truck had a major crunch on one fender and may have had a minor one on the other side. I want to be sure that the body work that is being done is correctly.

The part I am concerned about is the piece where the grille molding attaches to the fender.

Thanks much.

Re: Fender pics

Thanks. They are some help but not what I am after. I am trying to derteming the correct line for the front edge of the fender. Mine are slightly concave near the bottom of the grill. That may be the correct shape, but I'm not sure. Based on the molding it seems like it should be straight or slightly convex. To see what I am looking for the fender would need to be off the truck or the grille would need to be out.

Not looking to buy one. I just want to give some guidance to the body shop on the correct contour of the front fender. The picture I need is one of the front edge where the grille molding attaches. The best view would be from the inside of the fender.

Thanks so much.

Re: Fender pics

Thanks so much. Mine are definitely not right. Your picture is very helpful. The first picture shows the area I was concerned with.

Re: Fender pics

The size is ok for me. If you have one that looks down the line of the front edge of the fender that would be extra helpful. The part of the fender that runs along the side of the grille.

I really appreciate the time and effort you have made to help.

Re: Fender pics

It is hard to see the line I am looking for with the fender mounted on the vehicle. It does help to see how smooth and tight the molding fits and the assembled look I should expect. I appreciate the pic.

I think I am good with the pictures that have been provided. Thanks much to all!
