I think Allen found this seller and posted in the Dent forum. But he has some NOS Fridge sheet metal. Click on his "see other items" link.
If this don't get ya there.

He has lots of goodies for the Dents as well as some 80/86 stuff.
All New NOS

480 for one fender?

Not me

 

Thats a nice new fender, however it is the thin lipped fender for trucks sporting the 19.5 rims and larger. Somebody with a "big job truck" might be willing to cough-up that large wad. I just hope it doesn't bite someone with a need for a F100 style fender!

 

Wally, I never saw a "thin lipped" fender on a 250 or 350, but then I lead a sheltered childhood. LOL I did have an F-500 cab once that had fenders like that.

Am I thinking wrong here?

 

500 bucks is really chump change for an NOS fender, especially for one that is not reproduced, and likely won't ever be.

I have a budget, along with a set of shelves, for NOS parts and excelllent used ones. Our trucks will never be so popular as to have tons of repo parts available. When they are gone, that's it. If you want to drive your truck forever, this strategy makes sense. Also, to me, it's embarrasing to see people do without an important part for years at a time, because they think it should still cost what it did in the 60's, or they are just plain wedge-asses. If you want to drive all over scrounging salvage yards on your precious off time, have at it!

Some of those same people would not bat an eye at buying a carton or two of smokes every month, or a twelve pack after work 4 nights a week, or eat out 5 nights per week. Yet they insist they can't afford a 30.00 manual, or a 50.00 NOS part vs. a $5.00 junkyard part they'll waste hours refurbishing. Priorities. When I need a part, I want it now.

I got more rants coming down the pipeline, and more sacred cows to slaughter. Man, I'm getting as grouchy as NumberDummy!

 

AHAHAHAHAA!!

Perspective gents. I swallowed hard, handed the man $1500, and carried home a set of NOS 51/52 F-2/6 front uppers.....four years ago. That fender is fairly priced, and too bad it's not a 59/60 so it could find a home on an F-250 4x4 wearing the 19.5s. Stu

 

I have to agree with Stu and Steve on the perspective, but I have been up against a tight budget too many times. So we do what we do to keep playing with our trucks! Someone will need that fender!
