So I've finally got those fenders on!

[Jamiejimbob]

I found some fenders in Leeds UK which is about 70 miles from me.

They were pretty battered but at over 70 years old they are a bit rare.

Not sure why it will only let me post one pic at a time.

They look really good on the truck.

I think for now I'm going to transfer the current ones over to the fenders. I know they are not quite the right size but will still sit nicely on them.

That is one great looking truck Jamiejimbob, really like it. You were lucky to find those fenders over here, well done. Do you know of any other parts about or is that a closely guarded secret ?? Cheers, Dave.......Norwich

Thanks Dave yeh it's a pretty cool truck especially with a turbocharged flat 6 and a 5 speed in it. 

Well the thing is I found them by accident. I was just glancing through some Ebay ads for pickups in the UK and in the background upside down in a box were those fenders. I messaged him, he sold them to me and hey presto many hours of hammering and sanding later they are on my truck.

Ooh controversial...... I can still take them off again easily I haven't changed anything on the body of the truck it's supported by a steel bracket attached to the frame.

What is the turbo off of ?

I like the fenders on, makes the truck more of a beast. You have a good eye to see those fenders in the background, I will scan every picture now. There cant be much early dodge stuff in the UK..........Turbo and 5 speed, nice..

90s Pontiac runs about 5lbs of boost. Makes the motor pull like a train.

And running boards too.

Yes running boards would be good but they will be almost impossible to find in the U.K.

I'll watch for some. You want full length boards? Then you'll have to find rear fenders.....
