Anyone need fiberglass truck body parts

I found this place. A tip up hood and front fenders would be handy.

Re: Anyone need fiberglass truck body parts

I looked a but further and see that they have race weight and heavy duty glass parts. At first I thought it was a site just for race car and truck body parts.

There are a couple of vendors out there putting out fiberglass fenders that are decent if a guy just flat can't find repairable fenders and doesn't want to pay for reproduction steel fenders.

Re: Anyone need fiberglass truck body parts

I would like a fiberglass front end but the 1800 is too steep.

Yeah, I think those prices are a bit high for the average Joe.
A long box costs $4000, I can get a metal reproduction bed for $1500.

The truck that I bought came with one of those. But since I'm making a daily driver I'm planning on replacing it. Would be willing to part with it for about half that price. PM me if interested.

Check ebay
That's without fenders, tailgate, or bed floor
