Have a crumpled rear fender I'd like to either get repaired, or replace and swap/sell away. Been looking for original used ones, but haven't found much in condition better than the one I have now.
Plan to chop it and reverse for mounting of the spare tire on the passenger side of the truck, (I know originally this was a driver's side mount, but garage logistics prevent it) and I'm curious if the 'mfgd to OEM specs' on some parts really means anything. Fiberglass is NOT an option.
Opinions/suggested sources appreciated!
As always, thanks in advance!

Jimbos59chevy sells alot of original parts out of his backyard and also has a ebay store. You can check with him. Last time I looked he had several front and rear fenders for AD pickups.

I've checked jimbo from time to time - but either he doesn't get the rear fenders often, or they sell before I can snag one. There's one (different seller) on ebay now, but it's got a tear. The fender I have has some creases or light folds near the bottom rim. (tow damage; broke the rear axle and Mabel had to be 'rolled' onto the flatbed on the fender.)
Have been quoted astronomical sum to repair the fender, so looking for a replacement. Maybe I just need to visit more body shops. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 | I bought my rear fenders from a local guy that sells Dynacorn products and they fit good and look stock.I would use them on all my trucks,I'm starting a 53 GMC soon.Also the price was good to.But that was a year ago.
Go on the Dynacorn web site and they have a dealer finder,just put you're zip in.

I appreciate the help!

I had a 53 with it on the driver's side and as I was driving solo 90% of the time, my weight plus the weight of the wheel/tire made the truck lean. I ended up putting extra leaves in the driver's side rear spring. Frankly I never liked it as it seemed to be in the way. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 | Mine was to ,turned out to be a nice guy and I've bought alot of other parts from him.
