My 56 3100 was wrecked and I need major body repairs. The passenger side teardrop is crushed and it needs fenders too.
1)Has anybody seen HARMONS metal fenders? Are they good quality?
2)Short of a cab replacement and the hassles of titling issues or chopping up another cab does anybody know where to get a complete teardrop assy??

brsdb: Been to Harmons just a few miles S.E. of me. They are really nice people and have good supply of parts. I do not openly advertise for them 1. because they are close, 2. They do not support this board (They do know about us tho).
3.They sell truck parts remanufactered from someplace, but are more of a car parts place. Ben

what the heck's a 'teardrop assy'?
the repro metal fenders for the TF trucks should be avail from most any supplier - they're good quality, and all made the same place, so shop for price and close

sorry to hear the ol truck got munched - wish ya luck [and skill] getting it fixed!!

I guess I should have been a little more specific the "teardrop" is the WHOLE CAB CORNER that comes to a point kinda..right above step. it is the part of cab that extends about 4-5 ' behind cab rear wall.
I know the cab corners are readly avaiable, but only extend up about 14" from the bottom. mine is crushed frown all the way up about 30-32".
Thanks for the input guys. smile smile

I sent you an email about a Task Force cab I have previously located in a N. Texas salvage yard but your AOL address is not working. Let me know if you want specific contact information by sending me an email from your working email address.

Hey Brad,
I have seen in my truck mags that Mar-k the bed manufacturer is now selling fenders. They may be made in the same place as all the others, but its worth checking into. Sorry to hear about your accident. Get that truck running again.
