    Should I do my 36 with fenders, or without fenders and a bobbed bed? My only problem with doing it with fenders is that the ones I have are gl*** and I don't have the original frame. I believe all Fords 36-39 have almost the same frame so I would have to find one to match.

    Go with the fenders. These trucks have some of the best styling cues ever on a truck, but many of them are lost without the rest of the sheetmetal.

    And I used a frame from a '40 coupe when I built my '36 Ford truck. It was a direct swap as far as I could tell. Everything bolted right up.

    Fenders for shure!!!I'm shure it would be a pretty good chore to find some decent steel ones though.

    Ill have to say fenders. Although if you took the other pic and moved the front axle back a lil under the truck and didn't bob the bed quite as much it would look freakin sick too. Good luck :D

    put the fenders on it, frames are easy enough to find. if you were closer i know where there's a few out here cheap. steel fenders on the other hand are a little hard to find.
