okay so it's been a long time since i hit up this forum....nice to see it seems to be going very well.

i used the search button of course...didn't find what i was looking for.

i have a 92 i need a new passenger front fender.....will a fender from a 89 work? the junk yard and the bodyshop's books both said no.....but the fender looks exactly the same. anyone here swapped fenders from a 89-90 to a 91-94 or vice versa?

thanks

It will work, but you need the lower piece on the front of it for it to be flush with the 91+ bumper IIRC.

This needs to be sticky'd. Alot of people ask how to swap the pignose for the chuki bumper, and they have no idea what the little 8" by 8" fender piece is.

Sorry to steal your thread, but I think it has some relavance to it... I have an 89 and tangoed with an 18 wheeler. Would a 91-94 fender AND bumper fit on my 89?
