Technical should i buy these fenders?

so im a kid building a 1937 ford pickup and I want some steel fenders. a guy in Wisconsin wants $120 for them but im sure I could get him down a little. think its worth it. im not a very good body man but I am kinda planning on doing the body work while the truck is drivable.

 

No photos. HRP

 

If rears, jump on them at that cost, front, need pics

 

Even without seein them if you got em for $100 that's $25 apiece. Seems good to me. I'd take the chance.

 

trying to get the pics on here. im pretty technologically challenged for a 19 year old

 

just the fronts

 

if you need them and they aren't piles of ****. sounds like a good price.

 

I wouldn't sell em for a buck and a quarter, sounds like a good price if they're close to useable.

yeah, I forgot to mention its a three hour drive

 

Sent you a PM. HRP

 

$120 isn't bad depending on condition, but you gotta also make sure they're from a half ton and not a big truck, the big truck fenders have huge openings and look awkward on a regular pickup. The rears are 100x harder to find, in any condition.

 

FINNALY!!! THAT WAS ALOT HARDER TO POST THOSE THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN!!

 

A lot harder than you can imagine.......

 

I got a email from FH37 with the photos. HRP

 

You might be able to see the photo's but we can't but I did resize and posted the photo's you sent via email. HRP

 

oh my gosh! haha, thanks HRP. you've been a huge help

 

No question...buy them.

 

Are big trucks a different contour also or just the wheel opening.
If it's just the opening I suppose a guy could make new openings to suit. Open up pickup trucks for use on big trucks or close down the big truck units to use on pickups?
Or am I FOS?

 

If you need them $120 is a steal, 3 hours isn't far, i drove 17 hours one way for a set of NOS fenders i was looking for a few years ago. They where what i needed, in the price range i wanted to spend, so i used them as a excuss for a trip.

 

I sold a set of nice front ones for 200 plus shipping last year. They are scarce. Course I got them for free.
Still have the rears to use and a good hood.
You better hop on them form what I hear.

 

Yep, and a hammer Dollie set up.

Take a look here !

yeah, I thought it sounded like a good deal. thought I would run it past you guys. thanks a lot for the advise everyone

 

what do these guys want - people to give this old stuff away.....watched a vender come down to $50 on a not bad 1932 ford front left fender at the last swap meet....not much work....and the guy still walked.....

 

Yep, heck of a price on those...if I had them wold run you way more,,,,gas up and go!

Holler if you need the brackets/supports.

 

I've wondered that also...I have one fender that was cut out for a bumper iron...obviously not factory, but if I can find this thread tomorrow, will get some side by sides of a PU fender to compare

 

Without pics, no one could make a determination...I've seen some real wrinkled fenders, asking a good pile of money...things that would take you 20-30 hours to get good enough for paint.

 

I think that's a good price for those. They need a little work but not bad, worth the trip and the $120 price tag.

 

Are these the fenders with the cab and box for sale? If you are building a truck, I would buy all the parts if it were me. Price aint that bad.

 

they would take 20-30 hrs to get into final prime

 

I have a pair of fenders in about the same condition as those pictured above. So for those, 20-30 hours to de-rust, patch and weld, straighten, fill and prime? Can it all be done off the car?
