Fender swaps

Achmed · Aug 26, 2008

I am looking to replace the 2 front fenders on my 2000 with some from a 93. Since I am going to be trimming them above the factory flare location, will they still fit or are the totally different fenders?

All the mounting points are the same, they just differ in the header panel area; you're going to have to run the 96- header panel. Other than that, it'll work fine...can I have your 2000 fenders

?

How bad to they differ at the header panel?

They are in pretty bad shape, hacked up and have holes all in them from the Bushwackers.

Quite badly, if you tried to reuse your 97+ header panel with the old fenders you would have to fabricate brackets to bolt on the newer header panel. The old fenders don't have any of the provisions for the 97+ header panel at all.

a couple of people over at comanche club have done just the header panel, and it really doesn't look very good. Just to give you an idea:

Gotcha. Thanks!

It's not really as bad as that photo makes it look. I am running 97+ header panel with 93 fenders and as long as you adjust the fenders to line up its not that bad. It's not perfect but sounds like you aren't entering any shows with it.
