Bill | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,744 24601 | | 24601 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,744 | Andrew -- About the best way to find those is to look for a firetruck, tow truck or some other 2-ton with a body on it using the long running boards and fenders. You will most likely have to buy the whole truck to get them. Not to say you can't find them if you look hard enough. I'm just saying that I've never seen them except on a few trucks with the bodies I've described. As Bill says, you're best bet is to try and fab them yourself. Contact Jim Carter (Jim Carter Antique Truck Parts -- look in our links section) -- he has a HD '46 1-ton with those fenders and running boards. He can probably send you some measurements and photos if you end up fabbing your own. Here are a few pictures of it (Plus a '38) John

Join the Vintage Holmes Wrecker facebook page, & look up Michael Myers. He's found someone that can make them. He's having a set made now. | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,744 24601 | | 24601 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,744 | Good info, Spanky -- Thanks for sharing!
How's the sleeper cab project coming along? (Not to hijack the thread ...)

They are 37" diameter, more or less, depending how much you stretch them, and 21" wide. My tire size is 8.25x20 and this size fender fits them perfectly. They are in the pricey range, about $200 as I remember. http://www.mrchevynut.com/100_2783.JPGhttp://www.mrchevynut.com/100_2784.JPGMrchevynut.com | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | John, isn't Jim Carters 46 a 1 1/2 ton???
