Which GMC fender

[mikey531]

I have decided to buy a new driver side fender for my 69 GMC. I know there are many companies that advertise them. I just want to know who has had a good experience with fit and finish of an aftermarket fender and where did you purchase it?

Thanks

Mike

I'd try the parts boards for a used OEM fender first.

I already did, Good GMC fenders are scarce. If you know where there is one let me know!

It looked like you had a good deal going there with chevydog66 on a left fender. From my take it seems to be a good deal. The OEM fender and the ride for the price of a repro alone. Do the shipping numbers and see what a repro would cost shipped, maybe Manes. Then get back in line and firm up a number with chevydog66. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=524451&page=2

Hi Tim
I had the company doing my truck look at the pictures, and he said by the time it is blasted and repaired it would be cheaper and faster to buy a new one. So I am taking his advice, I did look at one from Southern Kentucky Classics which looked good.

I bought my right fender on my '72 Chevy from Southern Ky Classics. They are 80 miles from me though so I saved on shipping, but had to pay the Ky Tax. I was satisfied with the fit. I was able to get he gaps pretty close without much effort. Of course I started from the frame rails up. It has been a long time coming.

Cheaper and faster do not equal BETTER nor even equivalent. Same line insurance companies and body shops profit off of "like kind and quality". Your money your decision, my opinion but its free!

I'd still look for a 68 Chevy or 68-72 GMC fender and keep it OEM.
