hi!
i'am building a 65 f100 prostreet truck!
just noticed that the rear fenders are not as
wide as the cab! has anyone used the 3"
wider fiberglass fenders! was wondering how
they would look!

thanks, terry !!!

 

I have seen the fiberglass fenders on show trucks. Looked good! I say have at it!

 

I have saw the 5 inch wider on a show truck the truck beside it had the 3 in wider .I liked the 5 inch wider better ! How are you doing the frame work for the big tires. are you going 4 link or ladder bars or moving the leave springs . I have did a 65 and a77 by moving the leaves inside the frame turn out real nice and work well .

 

i have a 53 and i split the fenders down the middle and welded in about a four inch piece of metal. alot of work but they look goood and saved myself some serious cash

 

Looks matter for sure, but Bear in mind fiber composite materials seldom contain debris when tires disintegrate, can not withstand much impact, degenerate from exposure to UV A & B, and "spider crack" or check over time.

Steel does not have any of these shortfalls. I'd go with steel like UK1050 did, myself.

I see your point Fordboypete but after seeing the small dents and rust in my steel fenders . I think that steel or fiberglass my are going to receive a costom set of inter wheel wells . Tub the interfender
