We sure could use a pic of your truck

and next thing you should probably do is check out a thread by axracer on making your own patch for the fenders

Thanks for all the comments guys. I've emailed Ron a couple times now without success, so hopefully he'll respond soon.

Hey Ian,
He's a firefighter.... so his response may depend on his shifts.
I ordered some for our '50 F1 from one of the major suppliers but
the curves were so far off we couldn't use them. I then found Reamer
& he makes them to order & they actually fit. (He also made a few other
door jam pieces for us that I couldn't find).
