    Hmm, I have 4 fenders, 2 from my truck, 2 from a 74, not sure which ones I will use yet, both have their problems so if your looking for perfect fenders I dont know. Id have to pick which ones I want though... The guy that I got it from bought the 74 fenders but I dont know if they are better or worse than my stock ones. neither of them have big dents just little stuff I notice.

    Yeah your not to bad... probably a hour ride. its about 45 to a hour ride to concord from here.

    Whats going on with your 73? post up some pics.

    Jus got it today. the front end was wrecked. I started to take it apart today and realized that i may be able to save the core support just need to masage it a little. Id like to come look at what ya got. Im okay if there litte stuff wrong as long as they arent complete junk. I also need a front lower valance if you got one. Im gunna end up running no front bumper like yours is since i like the way it looks. Its gunna be a bag truck so i dont need it to look like a complete shop stopper.

    I only have the valance for my truck, its in crappy condition anyway, It might be fixable but im keeping that, id probably let 2 of the fenders go, I dont think either one is really better than the other, no major problems I can see on them, The truck was stripped in the junkyard, 74 auto, I wanted the front end parts from it, but someone beat me too it.

    yea mine are totaled for sure. I need to pull the support so as long as the fenders are a scratch and dent kinda thing but overall straight. Id also like to take some measurements of your truck if thats cool with you just so i have a referance for when i cut the core support.

    I ended up finding a 74 in the junkyard so i got a hood, core support and fender from that. I just need a passenger faned and the lower valence now.
