Default Parts Resources Request

Hey gang-
Im looking for gen 1 fender flares. Does anyone know of any companies that still produce them? Ive looked on google, and all I see are the inner fender lip screw on type. My goal is to remove the old ones, freak out on how much rust is under them, fix the rust, and put new flares on. Im even fine with the ones that require trimming out the fender, because anything I trim out, I dont have to fix.

I was curious to know the same thing. I just did my fenders with some fiberglass/bondo.

Yeah, I have 2 yards within 10 minutes of me, so im a frequent flyer.. Im actually trying to find something on the lines of the WARN type with surface screws or rivets, and those sexy little plastic covers over the screws.

Its pure laziness. I want a quick fix for the rust. Ill probably order up 2 new fenders, since those are still available, and get some boneyard stock flares. I just hate painting the fenders. Paint has never been my strong point since I have no patience.
