From one first gen owner to another!

I personally think that the stock fenders on the 79-83's and the trekkers look absolutely amazing, and are one of my favorite characteristics about these beauties! I would say stick with stock and 35s.

Tough call Slacker. I agree that stock looks good, I mean that is probably part of the reason you chose the truck in the first place. Right. However I am a fan of large wheelwells and big boots. So my vote is with the custom fenders and the 37s. After all, you have enough of a unique ride simply with the fact that it is a trekker. My 2 bits.

my vote would be stock those trekkers are a classic bit of history and should be restored... I'd rhinoline the backside of the body panels to reduce the corrosion risk... and maybe update the stereo and saddles but that would be it...
