I've seen where many have the small fender flares on their older hard bodies. Been looking for a while, and just have not been able to find any for sale. Is this something I'd only find in salvages yards now? Appreciate the help

I've had this truck for a very long time, and thought it would be fun to start to restore it a little. couple years ago, I changed out the original clutch at 301k miles, surely can't complain about that. Last night I changed out the rear shocks, well what was left of them. Should get the front ones in next week and get those swapped out as well.

Welcome to the site. I noticed your truck is a RWD. The OEM flares were used on the 4x4s only. Take a close look at fender you will notice there is no place or holes to mount them. Possible a universal aftermarket set may be available.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check again, but pretty sure I saw the mounting holes for them there just at the edge of the wheel well. This is the first time that I've had the time or ability to really put some work into this ole truck, so far it's been fun. But finding parts is starting to become difficult but i need to hit some salvage yards to see what I can find.

I have a set. Don’t want to sound negative but doubt if they would be a direct fit?

I'll get some pictures one evening this week of the fender to show.
Couldn't believe how bad to shocks were, guess I just never noticed it over time.

Did you find a set of fender flares for your D21 2WD? I have a factory set from a 4x4, but I am almost certain that they will not fit. The Nissan parts catalog lists a different front fender for the 4x4. Let me know and I can work a deal if you want them.
