Did the Chevy have metal fenders?

By sandra Date 10-09-2008 03:53 Edited 10-09-2008 17:52

YES IT DID. THE FENDERS ON THE DODGE WERE FIBER GLASS

Cool I always thought that they were fiber glass. They look very sharp, very nice work. Not a bad fish ethier. :-)

NOT SURE BUT I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THEY CAME OUT WITH THEM LIKE THAT........THEY ARE GOING TO USE THE ORIGINAL FENDERS JUST CUSTOMIZE THEM TO MAKE THEM FIT. THANKS FOR NOTICING MY FISH.......

you are correct this is the fist year, thank goodness they finally got away from fiberglass. as for as i know chevy and gmc are the only ones, the rest will surely follow

the new chevys have a metal inner panel and a plastic outside panel or they use too back when i was doing body work they did and all the ones i have seen so far have

By sandra Date 10-09-2008 07:00

Nice pooch! Beds are sweet as well! :-) I want to have a real welding truck one day, but as little welding as I do, it's not really justifiable. S.W/
