Just remember.. i dont think you can run wheel wells with the fiber fenders.. plus the way those fenders are designed you will lose a lot of mounting space.. i dont think those fenders have the braces on the inside like the factory steel ones..

hey MrWheelHop, i would throw that fiberglass roll pan out if it were me, that is weight that you need to get traction!!! any weight that you want to loose would be weight up front, get aluminum heads, i wouldnt start bolting on fiberglass parts, they just dont seem to fit like they should! well at least from expierences that i had..... also relocate your battery to the bed, or get a smaller one. if you have a bench seat, throw that piece out and get some light buckets.

i have used the unlimited products ones on a 88 that i built and they worked great... you couldn\'t use the inner federwells... but if your concerned about weight why would you want to? check em out in a truckin magazine or something... they have add\'s in there all the time or you ould call 877-735-7772 and order their catalogue or visit their web site at www.up22.com they sell fiberglass fenders and bumpers (not covers) hoods, doors, jsut about anything you can imagine
