1957 F100 Fenders

I am looking for some new front fenders for my truck. I can find the half fenders, at lmc and other places. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get the complete outer and inner fenders at ?

fenders

I bought a set of front half fenders from Dennis carpenter and they are nice but you can see that they used a saw to cut them in half I just wish I would have been able to get the front half with them

Wrong truck to restore just because you can't buy whole fenders new? Seriously? We actually used to do this before there were catalogs or internet. Imagine that.

I still do. The search and find is the juice for me.

LOL Grinch sounds like a Chevy guy stepping into the world of Ford restoration. Restored Chevy cars and trucks are a dime a dozen. Takes a real fab and build person to restore and work Fords. Agree with Willobilly been doing this before the catalogs or internet ..... walking the yards and driving the back roads looking for trucks and cars. Hitting the local paper want ads and nickel saver papers. Finding that part you needed was all part of the challenge. When the internet with all this info came around it made that challenge so much easier. Ask for a fender and don't get an immediate answer????? throw in the towel because of that. Hope he doesn't represent the new generation of vehicle restorer.

Since u don't list your location, not sure where u are. Las Vegas Nevada craigslist has a 57 front clip listed $450 O.B.O. Looks like the grill and the front gravel panel has been cut. The fenders and inner fenders and hood r in great shape. Not impossible to find, just have to have patience.

Thanks thrifty,I looked at the ad, I will call tomorrow. That is the kind of help a guy needs. Not someone looking to badger a guy just to make himself look tough and get his post count up.
