I used Aircraft panel sealer when I installed the rear fenders it seals out the water and dirt as well as filling in the seams. It's paintable as well as durable

That looks good. Looks like it's molded in.

Bit slow tbh....!

Stirling's very weak compared to the Dollar at the moment, so ordering large parts like dually fenders is very expensive...  ::)

Need to find a reputable make of dually fender too.

That is one awesome looking truck.  Makes me wish we still had our 83 black GMC crew cab dually.  You did a really great job on it.  Love the details and the progress reports along the way.

I've got a few ?'s for you! first what size,brand  tires are you running. second wher did you get the mud flaps and clear clearance lights. Last  thing is where the aftermarket fender came from??? i desperately need a drivers side fender! Thanks in advance and awesome work. I hope my truck looks that good some day!? ;D

Hey Busman

Well I'll get you the info on the tires, the lights are for a mid 90's dodge truck they are clear LED's I did have to make a template for the new light's and fill in the old holes, the mudflaps I ordered online through this site
 http://www.pickupspecialties.com/dually_mud_flaps_GO.htm

and the fenders I ordered through a local autobody shop, might want to check with Chris (CaptKaos) he might be able to order them in.

hope this helps if you look at my webshots page I have the complete build

Thanks
Dan
