Do all fender flares from any application work on the 88-98 CK trucks. I am thinking about going to a Pick N Pull to get some factory ones from a suburban or tahoe to put on my 1996 GMC Stepside...

If anyone has done this, feel free to show off the pics!

Thanks,

Jeff

im pretty sure that a- the step sides dont have stock looking or many aftermarket flares. B- the 4dr tahoes dont work either

Yeah. I dont think the step sides have an option for flares.

That's too bad...no one has ever got them to work with modification. Do they just not fit the wheel well or do they not sit flush on top because of the curves of the bed?

Prosho...post up your stepside flares!

The only flare I have ever seen for a Stepside truck are the Extend-a-Fender from Bushwacker. Any of the other flares don't fit because if the extra length needed to wrap around the opening of the fender for the steps. I don't have close up photos, but here is what mine look like.

You must be registered for see images attach


it is the same exact reason you see the GMT400 duallys with the flare only on the front fender, they don't make any that form fit to the stepside.
