I have glass front fenders from Mid fifty,they are made by be-bops,they have served me well. they have been on the truck for 8 yrs. and no issues. They fit well, a little tight around the air deflectors, the glass is thicker where the front gravel pan bolts on. I had to redrill some of the holes on the gravel pan. Overall they are well built.

One of my front and one of my rear fenders was in such poor shape, after everything was taken off the truck that I needed replacements. I went with Dennis Carpenter's metal fenders and found the fit to be good (not great, but good) and would recommend them as another alternative.
