Here's one Ive never seen before (not that Im going to get it at $430.00 and the reserve hasnt been met yet !) but they are kinda cool any one ever seen these before ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fend...itemZ190177061946QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

These look non-standard for the delux treatment on the series, the original chrome treatment called for both front and rear fender chrome packages and the chrome strips were thinner in design...so you would be adding non original peices, but more importantly you may have to drill into the virgin metal of your truck.

I don't know... those look pretty close to these.

agree, my mistake...great clip!!!

These stainless steel (not chrome) pieces were sold in a 14-piece set as an option from the factory for Panel Trucks. The set was also available as a parts-set from GM and could have then been installed on any 1/2 ton to 1 ton truck (they might have also fit OK on the fenders of larger trucks).

In case you are interested, maybe someone else will know how well the rear fenders strips fit on non-Panel-Body trucks.

Here is one of the rear fender strips, if you won the 1st ebay you only have one more to go!

I've been looking for fender mouldings for my 54 3100 for some time and this is the first that I've seen them. Does anyone know of repro's that are available?

Repros arent being made of those. I have them on my 54 panel, check it out in the gallery.
I also have another "spare" set with extra misc. ones. Just in case anyone ever runs a stopsign,or I back into something.

They sold for $1,525.00 !!!!!

Well, when you gotta' have it, you gotta' have it

And now all he has to do is find a set for the rear fenders and he's good to go.

I love that youtube clip. The best part is seeing a brand new fancy factory set up truck that the hood alignment is worse than mine.

If he wants the full set, he'll also need to find the two front fender "spears".

Come on now! At $1,525.00 someone oughtta repro these. Bueler? Bueler?

They are Reproing them but they are so wavie you can surf on them. THey Are JUNK

I looked into it once quite a few years back. Each piece is different in curvature and length,etc. Not sure if i was talking to exactly the right people but they said the tooling and die setup costs would be enormous,and then all the polishing,etc. But im sure once someone got past all the initial costs it'd be a money maker. Youd prolly have to have it all done overseas,,and thats another whole different deal.

Do you remember where you saw them ???

Here's a full set for the front and rear fenders on Ebay Any takers ?? What a steal !!

"What a steel"? I would have to do some steeling to pay for them!

You better hurry then... only 5 hours left and their yours while the price is still low LOL!!! (It's a full set ) Dont Wait.....

That's a hand made set. He doesn't mention if they are made from bar stock but regardless, that's a lot of work for $1,800

Yes they make reproductions they've been making them for at least a few years now, they look ok but you can't beat originals

I bought a 1948 panel truck that came with what I assume are original trim pieces (stainless).The pieces appear to be specific to each fender and each position on that fender, so it would be very labor intensive to make a complete set. I was wondering if the fender spears are specific or interchangeable? I am missing the driver's side and the spears seem to be just as hard to find. Dave

Yes they are interchangeable they're not fender specific.
