fender flares
Hi: Does anyone know where you can find fender flares for a 1985 F150 in Canada? I was thinking of putting some on to cover up rust on my fenders. This would hold up until I can afford to do it proper.

The fender flares will only promote the rust you have!!!! Covering it will do nothing but hide it for a short (very short) time giving the rust a chance to spread further.
Consider replacing the fenders which is actually a very quick job on the front and using wheel arch repair panels on the rear.
Sorry I sound so negative however to cover the rust is just more costly in the long run. Swallow your pride and drive around with primer spots and repair panels for a short time. At least you will have a truck to drive and hopefully more "real" metal left to work with when you have the proper time and funds.
Hey fender flairs are expensive!
good luck... Bob
