need a new "GOOD QUALITY" front fender

I have a 1995 f-350 crew cab with a damaged front left fender. I need a replacement fender, but I want a good replacement fender not some some cheap, thin and poor quality product. I ordered a front bumper from one supplier at a great price but it was a cheap imitation... had to deal with return and getting another fender. OEM ford is crazy in regards to their pricing...any GOOD suggestions/parts sources ?

Junkyard man. Depending on where you live you could probably even find one factory painted to match your truck. (assuming your truck has stock paint) I've had great luck with yards in California. Good luck.

BTW if you get fiberglass they never fit good and always need trimming.

Junk yards aren't always a good option depending where you live, even in Alberta where they dont use salt fenders get quite rusty. As far as Ford OEM, from what I understand they dont make thier own anymore, so from them you'd be paying extra for an aftermarket company anyways. Up here (assuming you're "down there") Cross Canada Collision has come recommended to me as a good supplier.

Ford still makes them but you will pay about 250 for one
