Unhappy Left Rear Fender

I have a 1994 Dodge RAM 3500 dually. I 'crunched the left rear fender to the point where it needs to be replaced -- too much flex-cracking in very difficult to repair areas. My body shop cannot currently source a replacement. Is there anyone out there that has had a similar problem?

I first thought these fenders were of a fiberglass material, but once the fender was removed it appears to be some kind of plastic composition to where FG resins would not adhere very well.

Any thoughts out there -- there are so many of these trucks out there that someone must have gotten through this issue.

Thanks -- Randy

LMC Truck lists them, and they even show in stock, problem is, they don't really differentiate between the 1500/2500 and the 3500, and we all know for a fact there are differences..... Maybe call 'em, see what they have to say?

Tasca still lists them, they are a big dealership group so they really might have some sitting somewhere (I got a part from them for my 4th gen when it was on backorder at all the FCA parts centers). Be prepared for sticker shock though....

I called them -- the dually fenders are not in stock and they do not have any suppliers to obtain these parts to restock.

After searching for most of the day I did find a supplier for these at: http://duallyfendersfiberglasstruck.com/_Home_2.html

Price is $490 + shipping. They are out of Houston TX. I will add a report on the quality of this part when it arrives.

Well, I bought and had that FG fender shipped to my bodyshop, It took nearly (2) months to get it, even though they told me on the phone they had them on the shelf. I think it wasn't on the shelf, or even molded up yet! It was a terrible fit and would have taken quite a bit of fitting hours to make it work. I had the shop return it, and then we decided to have the shop rebuild my wrecked fender. It wasn't cheap to repair the entire unit, but at least it fit correctly. They did 'beef' it up on the inside surface.
