Hello everyone!!!!! I am new and this is my first post, I hope I am in the right place. I have a 1983 F150. It was involved in a head on crash and has been put back together with another frame. We tried to use as many original parts as we could find. It is now finished and looks good. It only has 13000 miles. I am missing one part. The fender trim on the left front. This is the trim that fits about 4 inches above the wheel well not the one right at the wheel well. We bought 4 other trucks for the rebuild and have hit several yards in Ohio and this is the only thing missing. I was wondering if anyone might have one or know where to find one. Thanks CCAP
They do not have it anymore. It was a new old stock and was sold a long time ago. But this was a great site for hard to find parts. Still looking but thanks a lot.
For franklin2. Not sure how to use this site yet I hope you get this. The list of yards in Ohio was great and some of them had fenders but none had the chrome. One is going to search with friends and call back. Great job on finding the list. Sill looking, thanks a lot.
The site I used was Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market. You could widen the search if you like. I did a search for fender moulding for 1983 only, and nationwide nothing came up. I then did a nationwide search using 80-86 and a few places came up. But there are no pictures, I don't know if the moulding was all the same.
How bad is the old moulding? You know they have places that straighten moulding, and if you get some pine and make lots of wooden "tools" you would be surprised I think how you can straighten some of it yourself.
We have car-part.com and I will widen the search. Already went to a few in Tn. I think we completely lost the old in the crash but I will check. It took year to rebuild it. Thanks again for all the help. I am going to spend 2 days in Aug. on the the longest garage sale in America on Rt 124. Perhaps I will pass a few yards in 3 states.
The junkyards here in Arizona are full of them. If you are not in a huge hurry I could probably pull several dozen of them. We have very little rust here so the junkyards are full of older trucks. I would have already offered but I am in the middle of moving and I work 12 hour night shifts so I don't get to the junkyards often. PM me if you want me to pick one up for you (junkyard price + actual shipping), might be not be for a week or so. Do you need the little horizontal section with black rubber for that fender also?
If you can find on that would be great. It is the left fender and I do not need the black rubber horizontal section. Thank you ever so much. I will let you know if anything shows up.
