I have both my rear fenders off the 53 and placed on some saw horses. When I looked at them the other day they seemed diffent but didn't pay much attention. Then in another thread Fumblin said something to the effect that a lot of trucks have rear fenders from both AD series (41-46 & 47-54).
I was wondering if I have one of those trucks.

People are paying some big bucks for the Art Deco ones in excellent shape because there are no repops available. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | Thanks 228mike. That is good to hear. Maybe I can finance the restoration with a rear fender.

In six years i have only seen a NOS rear fender once and I don't know how much it went for because it was pulled off of e-bay as quick as it went up so I'm sure someone offered the seller some pretty big money.

But one is pimply like ostrich skinned cowboy boots. YeeHaw. Off we go to the Mesquite rodeo.
There goes the funding for my restoration.
