stepside fenders
« on: March 25, 2011, 08:11:05 pm »
Will a set of 67-72 stepside fenders work on a 73-87? I have a set that are in better shape than the orignal. Just getting started on this project.

Will the bolt holes line up? Probably not. Will they fit with drilling new holes? Probably. I dont know how tall the 67-72 fenders are, but if they are taller than the 73+ fenders, they wont fit without trimming the bottom off. You have to think about the fuel filler location as well...I would just stick with 73+ fenders...

     Beastie is right, and besides they wont look right.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
