Chris`s fenders fit very well.I bought 2 from him and other then a lil tweaking here and there there a perfect fit. I couldnt be happier with them rather then the POS used ones i had that the guy had them all bondoed  up and had red lead all over the place.I paid 50.00 for the pair and they went to the dump after i looked at them and decided to get a pair from chris.

thanks
pat

p.s. skunksmash, yeah i think  he sells 81-7 goodmark fenders as well.

Yes, I sell 81-87 Goodmark fenders also, but they are not "tweaked" like the 73-80 versions are.  They are standard Tr-Pluss versions.  I haven't had a problems with those though.

Price, fit, you said they are not "tweaked". Whats that mean? Some aftermarket body parts don't really fit very well.

Goodmark modified the Tri-pluss stamping of the standard 73-80 fenders to fit better, and last I checked it was exclusively for them.
They didn't modify the 81-87 version, so it it the same as any other Tri-Pluss fender.  I haven't had problems with the 81-87 versions, but several aftermarket 73-80 versions required extensive work to get it remotely close.

Only modifications i had to make to the fenders i bought from chis where the top edge is curved, your gonna have to trim a pie cut into the inner support so you can bend it in to get it closer to the windshield post and thats really it.Other than that there a great fit, and look good, but on the pass side i`m having a slight problem bolting the top bolt to the firewall.Its not the fender i think its the cab cause it happened to me on the other fenders i had and it fit the same way.The drivers side is a perfect fit, so i gotta reposition the nut under the place where the top bolt goes thru and reweld it and it should be good to go.

thanks

And only 90 bucks too. Pretty cool, seeing as how the chevy house is like 200 bucks.
