My body guy was hoping so Mike, but after looking at it closer he really would like to get a different one. It's caved in awfully bad on the bottom.

I don't know of any boat repair shops, but I don't have a boat either. There probably is.

You sure about that? My factory ones are not 3/8 thick it does not feel like. Kevin alerted me to the fact of the upper liners that were a recall. I have them in mine and I could see where they could fool you if you didn't look closer. The liners were added later because rocks were reported to have been thrown through the fenders by the tires at speed.

Please Read: The "orginal" Ford dually fenders for this series truck were produced using a chopper gun. Therefore, they were a thicker (3/8"+/-) stiffer fender than our hand lay fiberglass dually fender (4 layers - 1/8"). Ford no longer supports these dually fenders. So, if you desire that "original" Ford dually fender. Then the only other option that we know of is your local salvage yard.

Mine are OE with factory pn on a factory bed. They are 1/8" thick. I think that was earlier models then our generation.

It looks like Lee is going to come through for me! Unless for some reason my body guy found one since Friday, which is highly unlikely since nobody could find one in the whole state, I'm going to make a deal with him.

I tried to rep Lee, but couldn't. If anybody can for me I'd appreciate it. He's spending a lot of time helping me out right now.

Thanks for repping him Tom.

Aaron, I'm not sure, but that very well could be how I'm getting it. He's offered to deliver it this weekend as he was going to Des Moines, weather permitting. I may meet him part way, we are going to work out the details this week. I want to make sure tomorrow that my body guy hasn't found anything first.

I got him for you too Darin. Glad you found one. I have an extra set that aren't perfect, but not bad. I figured I would hang on to them in case something like happened to you happens to me.

Yeah right! LOL! I have a Ranch Hand bumper on the front of my truck that an elephant couldn't bend, and the deer run into the side of the truck!
