I've got a pretty good driver. Now I need the passenger side. If its dented up or has cancer I'm not interested. Mild surface rust is fine, no heavy pits. I'm looking for a good OE inner that my body man can slick up when I hit the paint booth next year. Let me know what you got. Bonus points if you're in or near west Tennessee.

Front or rear?
 
Bump. There ain't no way that one of you hoarders doesn't have a 73-80 passenger inner fender you'd turned loose of.
 
I've not found a good used one in a long, long time. That is the first place the squarebody trucks rust out. I have one crusty one that isn't worth shipping, but could be worth patching though.

I think I'll pass. That battery acid really did a number on those early ones. No more than the repops cost that's probably what I'll do, just keep hoping for one to turn up. I had a line on a NOS one at one point, but that just seemed excessive considering no one really notices that part and the repops should fit with minimal work.

The biggest issue with repops is the shipping cost buying online is more than the part itself. Best to find a local dealer that keeps them in stock.
 
I bought these https://www.summitracing.com/parts/AMD-X250-4073-R from Summit and believe it or not the fitment was literally perfect for my 78, didnt have to add or even open up a single bolt hole. I was quite impressed and even with the "oversized" shipping they were still affordable, in my opinion. Not sure what your budget is but they are worth checking out.

Those are priced about right from what I've seen. Budget is a 4 letter word at this point, if I need it bad enough I just buy it when I can catch it on sale. I had been hoping they'd bring them to a show but vendors don't bring a lot of big stuff anymore like they used to at car/truck shows and I noticed they marked the price up on some stuff at the last truck show I was at. I will probably wait until summit does a sale of some sort or do a big order directly through AMD. I wish AMD would make their own inners, those have the "X" in the part number which means they aren't actually made by AMD they're made by X-parts. I guess since inners aren't too complicated to stamp there's not need in making their own.
