    I like that zoom feature the guy employs in the ad. I would also like to see the underside of those fenders. Could be they are close to looking like your fenders, pt. Maybe not. Rust comes mostly from the back side.

    I agree with Mike (Silverfox). Certainly better than the ones you have, but I would want to get a real good idea of what they look like down low, where the worst rust would form. You want a pic taken from absolute ground level, pretty much under the rear part of the fender, shooting up at it (a close-up).

    They do look a lot better than what you have, make him an offer on both and then go from there. The way it usually is whenn looking for parts is buy it when you find it because you never know when you will find it again.
    Good luck!!

    And I disagree with purchasing them..

    At 230$ per side there has to be someone in the state of OK
    that can weld (not braze) metal and do good finish work.. The
    right fender on ebay shows "surface" rust and I will bet a large
    amount it is more than just surface... Where not as bad as what
    you currently have will cost just as much to repair as what you
    currently have...

    I opt for fixing what you have.....

    It was asked for and appreciated. Although still being kinda new to Oklahoma and not having any contacts as I did where I spent the last 20 years I certainly appreciate your input.:thumbs2:

    I'm just thinking... you're the new guy in town and you parked a car out front with frying pans and guns attached to the outside of it? You really are a brave soul.
