Last Thursday I was doing a favor for my fire chief, hie asked mebto mow his law while his mower was downs. in the middle of mowing the fire pager goes off for a house fire In the village, I had to shutvthemoweroff to hear what was being said. After finding out it was a fire I attempted to start the mower...... Dead.. So I ran to my baby ( the truck) ankd started to bac out of the driveway, well in the process I jack knifed the trailer into the side of my step side and shattered the rear passenger side fender.. I wanted to cry but I knew I still had a job to do, so I proceeded to the fire station. I finally got a look at my baby after a tael hour fire. Still today It makes me wanna cry

anyone know where I can find a new replacement fender? But I guess thats what happens to a nice guy trying to help people

LMC Truck has them for 399.95 for 99-05 year models (left or right side). Probably another 100 bucks for shipping though...

Try a local junk yard from a truck totaled in front. Is it so bad that it couldn't be knocked back out? We really need pics....as painful as it may be. Sorry for your loss.

It's a stepside bed. They don't bend, it's a composite material fender. They just kinda bust open if you hit them.

I hope you find what you need to fix your truck. When it gets repaired your truck will be good as new.

I see what you are talking about. Yes, I have see many a truck rolling down the highway with the 'exploded view" of their truck bed (probably involuntary for most drivers). That is unfortunate.
