The one at Chev's of the 40's seems to have a seam that runs from the bottom of the headlight bucket opening to the bottom of the fender. They said it was a "shadow" in the picture. Anyone have any experience with these? http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/browse.lasso?&dept=Truck&cat=270T&skip=36

Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

thanks for providing that information and those photos. I have been trying to find out about those fenders for a long time. They look really decent on your truck there. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 37 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 37 | Thanks for the pics and the input.
