Dually fenders on 1977 F250

Anyone know a good source for dually fenders to convert a styleside '77 to dually? Kinda hate to do it cause the '77 is so clean, but I put a dually Dana 70 in my 79 and I really like the stability when towing. JC Whitney has a listing, but no photos. Anyone use them or others? The 77 is a Ranger supercab with dual tanks, so the trim and fuel doors may also be an issue. (The fenders on my 79 are actually Chevy stepside fenders cut to fit and don't look too bad actually, but it was a lot of work).

Maybe, but they first came from Ford in 1980, and aren't the '80 beds are more flat sided than the '77 styleside? Have to park next to an '80 and see.

I saw a pretty cool setup once, it was a 79 F350 2wd DRW with a wider fibreglass bed, not just the fenders, the whole bed was madewider to fit, it tapered sharply out much closer to the cab and stayed wider all the way back. It said "Daytona F350" on the cowl. Definetly looked cool.

I talked with a distributer for Arrowcraft today and they said they have been discontinued, but I plan to call them, (Arrowcraft), anyway. Also the Ricka fenders JC Whitney sell are unavavailable as per Ricka, (said the molds were worn out and not worth fixing due to low demand). Still looking..

That one on ebay looks like it's using chevy dually fenders. Check out http://www.chromewheel.com/home.htm they sell em specifically for the 73-79 trucks. They don't look bad, but I didn't see a price.

There are no Ford Truck Dually fenders listed in any of the truck parts catalogs till 1980, which was the first year Ford offered dual rear wheels with pickup beds.

Dual wheeled F350's could be had before 1980, but only with a stake bed, or a cab and chassis.

I called chrome wheel and they didn't actually have any fenders for the F250 dually conversion, and yes the fenders in the Ebay add look more chevy than Ford. No luck yet but still looking..

I'm looking for the same thing for my 1976 Ford F-250 Dually conversion. It's near impossible to find them at an autowrecker or salvage yard. reply back to me oldjag or anyone if you know whewre to find any. that would be great.
