any pics ???
in my opinion the original rear fender doesnt fit to the to the rest of the truck..
actually the whole bed ...

i am thinking about to add a line to the fenders....sorry i am not able to describe it in the right way...but also the F100 fenders do have this line....i will upload a pic , so i think its more easy to understand what i mean

having seen one like this I understand what your saying. the owner of the truck said the same thing about the rear not matching the rest of the truck. sorry no pic maybe you can con someone into photoshopping one for you.

If you want to change fenders why not just buy a Ford?

Just because you could does not mean you should.

Re: Mixing Chey / Ford fenders

If your going to change the fender how about a Studebaker or Dodge fender? That will keep 'em guessing.

The Ford fender is just to easy to I.D.

I've always liked the '56 up Ford step side tail lights but you won't see them on my Chevy or GMC . Now '69 Datsun P.U. tail lights are another story.

Re: Mixing Chey / Ford fenders

hy all..

i do have a 51 pick up... so therefore i am asking.

Maybe in many years i gonna trade my baby for a F100 , but until that i wanna get the perfect stance..
also it Germany its hard to find some nice pickups in a great condition ..

but right now i am missing the aggressive look at my pickup..

tomorrow i will upload some pics of the lines i meant

thanks
