crazy idea: 1983 fenders on a 1989?!
I've always liked the look of the 79 to 83 trucks with the round headlights and fender flares. But in this part of the country those trucks are hard to come by. If you do find one, its usually rusted beyond repair.
I was thinking about getting some 1983 fenders (aftermarket), grille and headlights (ebay), and installing them on my 1989 pickup. I know that they will not fit correctly, but I would like to see how much work it will take to do this. Then I was going to get another set of fenders and cut the flare off and have it welded to the side of my bed to try to duplicate the look of the 1983.
Is this possible or

Honestly I wouldn't waste your time. For the time and money it would take to make it look half way decent you could do something better, but thats just me. Just buy an older truck from somewhere. Solid Axles!
