Junkyard Gold

[TSuter]

While scrounging through the junk yard looking for odometer parts I stumbled across an '89 D150 Dually (didn't know they made those) with two good fenders. The firberglass is dry, but they're in one piece. Knowing they're made of unobtanium I picked them up.



Now I can't remember who was looking for them. I'm in St. louis but will be travelling to the east coast (DE) for the Labor Day weekend. PM me.

BGilbert has been looking for some forever!

What color are they? I have considered taking off my flatbed and putting the p/u bed back, as soon as I determine for sure I have a p/u axle and not a C&C. ANd, i am a lot closer. :-laf

They're that steel blue Dodge had in the '80'si I also neglected to mention that the left fender has rub marks where it looks like the PO side swiped something. I looked it over good and can't find anything wrong with the glass, just missing some paint.



They will need work, but they are whole.

Thanks Pete, Bill you have a PM

Stopped and showed the fenders to BGilbert last night. Turns out they aren't the dually fenders I thought they were. They are after market fenders to turn a SRW into a DRW, explains why I found them on a D-150, and after taking a look at Bill's project there is simply no way they'll fit a true dually.



Bill, good meetin' you! Hopefully, I didn't make you to late on your runs. You've got some nice "toys".



Tom

 

[PToombs]

Sorry Bill, thought I had you hooked up!

They were in excellent shape. But as soon as I seen them, I knew they were 'wannabee' dually fenders:-laf. I'm pretty sure they will only work if you have a SRW axle and add cheesy dually adaptors to the axle, because a true DRW axle is wider and these won't work.



Nice meeting you too Tom. Super nice truck you have. I was jealous. I'm getting tired of seeing all these cherry, rust free, excellent paint job, no dents, sweet lookin 1st gens all the time, when all I got are beaters with heaters :{ :-laf.

My truck used to be a 250 until the rear end scattered. Only affordable donor i could find was a D350. So I swapped all the dually stuff, including the DRW axle and bed, over to my truck. The donor bed is pretty rough, and I can't seem to give the srw bed away, so I thought about getting these and adding them to my srw bed. Maybe a little confusing, but I know what I mean.

Bill,



What you didn't see was the two holes in the roof, that are covered with 200 MPH tape. Besides If you want, we could trade... say mine for the 450HP truck? :-laf

Oh good! And here I was all upset that I dragged the open hood on the garage door this morning and chewed the paint off! :{

 

[TSuter]

PTombs,



and here I thought I was the only one that did things like that. Did you know that the driver's door will bend backwards when hitting the garage frame when backing out?



Tom

 

[Philip]

Tom you forgot to add the disclaimer.



Do not try this at home. Leave it to the pro's. :-laf :-laf

Tom

Thats what the wife did to our 02 Cummins when she "forgot" to close the door before backing out of the garage... . :-laf



We laugh about it now..... :-laf
