Try Amazon or Advance Auto, or maybe someplace body part specific? When I needed a gas tank Rockauto was insane for the shipping, too. Advance gave me free shipping!

I bought new fenders from carpartswholsale on ebay. They were $126 each. Made in taiwan.

These were ok. The front tips of both new fenders were damaged in shipping.

The passenger fender didn't match the arc of the door. I had to place a block of wood in the center and carefully bend the fender to better match the door. The drivers side fit very well, but after looking at it, it had 2 small dents, and the rear tip was also bent down.

Not a huge deal, and fairly common issues with less expensive fenders. I wouldn't buy these for a nice restoration, but they will work well for this truck.

The last pic is with the flare installed. These fenders weren't made for 3/4 tons, so they didn't have the holes drilled - had to mark and drill them. Fairly easy, but takes time.

alright, thanks. I've bought good stuff on ebay, but have been skeptical of body panels. I'll look at it.

I bought a set of those and they were in worse shape than my old ones. I told them so and they refunded me and told me to keep em. Went to a local pick and pull a couple of weeks ago and found one in black and in very nice condition, no dents only some light sctatches for $50 and it's real gm metal.

I had great success buying on ebay but I used 1 specific seller. apparently they are not selling on ebay anymore but I found their website. I'm in Canada and had insane shipping rates even from Canadian suppliers. this company carefully packaged up like 6 parts in 1 box and not one arrived damaged in any way. pretty sure they FedExd them to me with almost next day delivery. this was a couple years ago but I still havent installed anything. DOH!

well a fender gets shipped by freight. and freight is kind of expensive to ship 1 fender to me in Canada. 2 rear body panels for my burb was only $40 though. so I guess it depends how big and heavy the items are.
