Homemade inner fenders??
- Thread starter sapper
- Start date
I haven't tried it, but I know people have and I might do it in the future. One suggestion was to use a set of thick semi-truck mudflaps and cut and form the rubber with a heat gun.
I think I'd rather do it with steel, but I suck with sheetmetal so it'd be an easier alternative.

I was going to use the mudflap trick... but I have an old hard-plastic bedliner out of a 75 longbed that has a couple of holes in it. I couldn't even get $20 for the thing on craigslist... so I'm prolly gonna cut it up and make some inners out of it. Oughta work, and it'll be lighter than the heavy flaps.

cheap fenderliners..
The bedliner would probably work..(too bad your not closer-I'd pay 20 buck for it for my C10!
)..
I'e seen guys use those roll up kids toboggans as fender liners on new trucks to keep salt from building up and rotting out the fenders and cab..they are just a sheet of polyurethane plastic,flexible but stiff enough to hold its shape..I think the ones J.C. Whitney sells look like the same material,only vacuum formed to fit like a glove on a particular truck..

lol, bummer. The liner has a couple of holes and cracks (like golf ball size) in it from previous owner abuse... so it aint worth much at all as a bed liner. It'd be easier to cut/notch than flaps if I need to make room for shock towers or whatever in it... and its plenty long enough that I could make them cover pretty much everything from firewall to the electric fans.
