i knew it was replaced , i just didnt notice that it was off that far until after i bought it .
the driver side was replaced also but it looks fine.

so i have been looking at these options for replacement

Looks better then mine!

You do know this is going to take lots of work to get it fitting like you want.

It is not so much the poor quality fender but what the fender is attached to .

Most likely as good as it could be done without lots more labor

Best of Luck

if the door and fender aren't binding when you open/close it and you aren't doing a full restoration, who cares? I think you are on the right track, fix the mechanical junk and enjoy your truck

My body panels have a 20' rule
If it looks OK from 20', its good.

It aint a show truck!
