Guys, I called a parts place that deals with 48-52 Ford truck parts, I forget the shops names, How ever I asked just to see about steel fenders, they told me they have early and later rear fenders in steel at $1300 a pair, there also coming out with new steel front fenders with in the next weeks, price is unknowed, I asked if they where made here in the states, How ever there being made overseas...

 

A LARGE majority of the 48-56 parts places are actually at least in part, DC resellers. If DC is importing the fenders chances are they are the US distributor for them.
