Im looking for both front fenders for my 79 c10, and also need the valence panel that goes right below the radiator opening. Fenders must be rust/dent free and no holes for trim. Would prefere somwhere close, but that aint going to happen!

**Desert Rat** · 04-29-2003, 04:51 PM

I bought 2 brand new ones they were $69.95 each and they fit fine,i also have the new $100 hood,no complaints except i cut my hand on the inside lip.

**old Rusty C10** · 04-29-2003, 05:48 PM

where did you get that cheap of a fender desert rat?

Tom · 04-29-2003, 07:39 PM

More importantly, who where they made by? Id rather go OEM stuff but its like finding a needle in a hay stack.

Tom:

Though you were getting some or was winning an auction OEM fenders off of ebay or something, last time I looked?

CustomChevy · 04-29-2003, 10:22 PM

i got the lower panel you need. i believe you are talking about the panel that houses the turn signals, right?

awkward shape, that is, long, not sure if UPS would take it as regular parcel.

if you still need one, will give it to you for $20 plus actual shipping cost.

also, will take photo and post it by thurs.

Tom · 04-30-2003, 04:14 PM

78sil- Yeah I was wining that auction, till the last 6min

NOS OEM fenders for $300......

customchevy- Im not sure what year it happened, but my 79 has the turn lights in the chrome housing that holds the headlights also.

Quit being so picky and learn to weld if you don't want any holes!

Besides, if these go cheap, have someone do it for you. (they might go cheap since most people use 73-80 or 73-87 for searches).

Unfortunately Mesa is a long ways from those Jeff, and one will not SHIP and the other prefers not to.

CustomChevy · 05-03-2003, 03:08 PM

I think the valance shown is for 78 and older isn't it? I actually have a 79 valence complete with headlight bezels (surround headlight and turn signal) and valance trim. I was going to swap it onto my 78 blazer but didn't like the look.

*1FaastC10* · 05-16-2003, 03:56 AM

Custom Chevy, are you trying to spread your truck all over the country or what? LOL if you keep it up, you're not going to have a truck left.

Yes your right. Custom chevy, I went home and looked at my truck again, and the valence panel does not have the turn signals in it. It ends and the chrome headlight housing holds the headlight and turn signal. Thanks for the offer though

CustomChevy · 05-16-2003, 06:26 PM

that's cool. i am only aware of 3 different types of lower panels. the 73-80 (mine), one for just 80 (the rectangular lights), and the 81-87 type. it was my understanding that only the 81-up type did not have the turn signals mounted in them. when you get the one you're looking for, load a pic. would like to see it!! good luck!!!

**crossy** · 05-17-2003, 01:21 AM

VALANCE PANELS=
73-78 all the same.
79-80 the same regardless of headlight option and have holes in them for the stainless trim on front.
they all (73-80) bolt in the same and can be swapped as long as the headlight bezels are changed also.
