'42 1 ton PU

Hi, I am new user and trying to post a request. I am getting started with a '42 one ton PU. The rear fender on both sides have been trimmed off on the trailing edge to make room for a homemade farm bumper. I need a good photo (close as possible) of the fender so one can be fabricated. My other choice is to go to a stake bed where photo would also be useful. I am sure I will have other requests for info/suggestions down the road.
Thanks

here is the front bumper, i believe it is the same as the rear one (at least on mine it is)...hope this helps

id take a couple of the rear, but right now the truck is getting worked on (original style rims/hubcaps put on, new tires, new brakes, new floorboards), so its gone for about a week

Thanks. Where did you find the floorboards for the truck? Right side of mine is gone, rest is repairable.

bob drake has floorboards (www.bobdrake.com). you could also try dennis carpenter (http://www.dennis-carpenter.com) and look in the online catalog. although i believe my dad got ours from some smaller place in michigan...i cant remember the name though. they were like maybe 75 per side

Those rear fenders aren't 46 are they? Looks like 49 or 50. I am missing the trailing edges, about 2 or 3 inches as near as I can tell. That is about where the slope changed to more verticle. I wish someone would allow me to make a fiberglass mold from their fenders????
Your truck looks like it is in great shape!

yeah, the fenders are not from the 42-46 years...some 30 years ago someone put them on there, but they fit pretty well with the rest of the truck (at least in my opinion) also, and the grille pieces are slightly wrong. thanks for the compliments though- do you have any pictures of yours?

I have been installing a rebuilt generator this morning. Local shop did it for $45 and it looks new (6V).

I received a catalog from Obsolete Ford Parts, Inc that has fiberglass rear fenders for 42-47 trucks. Their phone # is 405-631-3933 hope this helps.

Thanks. I have looked at OFP's site as a backup. However, my fenders are in good shape except for the inch or so that was trimmed off. I want to fap a piece but I need the shape.

The very end of the fender should slope down alot like the half tons do.

I'm having some computer trouble right now, but I do have some pictures of the ends of my fenders but they are in some weird file type that I can't read. Maybe I'll be able to get them posted sometime soon.
