who has them? what brand? pictures.....

Ok.. I am thinking of putting fender flares on my 96 CCSB. The bed I have now is junk inside and out.... I just picked up a 95 lightning bed that is near perfect.. I has the typical rust hole over the fender... other than that it is even the right color.. I would like the fix the rust but I dont really want to paint the bed because then it wont match the rest of the truck.. I was looking at the Warn and Bushwacker pocket and/or cutout flares.. just wondering if I was to cut and prep the rusted area if either of these flares would cover up the effected area.. I know it depends on how much I cut out but I cant find dimensions on the flares other than how far they stick out..

Thanks.

Mine had the same rust problem. I tore off the chrome trim and filled the rust holes with some fiberglass filler/bondo and smoothed them out a little. I then used some im not sure what its called some kind of reddish color rust preventer, its paint on. I painted all the bondo and a good layer all down the edge, inside and out to prevent further rust. then used Bushwacker street flares from summit racing. Look at my gallery. made the truck look nice.

I really like the street flares good job jeremy.

 

I was thinking of doing the same thing. Can anyone tell me how far up the fender the flares would cover? I would only need an inch or two to cover the rust areas but wasn't sure it that was too much.

 

look at jboard's gallery it may help. They look to be about 1.5". You may even consider sending him a PM and asking him directly how big they are.

 

I cant remember exactly its about 2 inches i think, its the smallest you can buy and the price aint bad either.

jboard, i was just visiting your state this past weekend. twelve of us drove from NY to Gilbert WV for the Hatfield McCoy trails.

 

Ive always wanted to go to that but never made it, I here it is fun. I cant remember the location but im sure its in the mountains, which can give awesome scenic views...FYI always carry a camera when traveling thru my state u never know what ur gunna see.

I have been to hatfield mccoys. We rode 40 miles from the rockhouse trail head to get to gilbert to get fuel. 40 miles back to the trail head in one day. I have done it twice and want to go again your states scenery is sweeeeet. Stoping on the top of the mountains is a must to take pictures. Sorry about the hijacking!

 

Its ok I love my state...lol

 

OK.. back to the subject.. in the June 2007 issue of Dieselpower, the cummins powered F350.. are those the extend-a-fender or cut-outs... the flares on that truck are the ones that I want...

Thanks
Pat

 

jboard,

can you do me a favor and measure your flares... I know you said about 2", that is going to put it close on my truck.. and I really cant gauge from the pictures... Trying to get info out of Bushwacker is like talking to a wall...

Thanks,
Pat
