I used to see all sorts of sites pop up under a search for LUV parts that had fenders and bumpers for my 79.... how come no more? Anyone know where I can find a new chrome bumper, headlight bezels, and fenders?

you'll probably find fenders and headlight bezels but you have a 20 to 100 percent chance of finding a chrome bumper. it took me 2 years to find one.thanks chevytoyr. you could go with a fiberglass one :?

i can get factory recasts of fenders and headlight bezels from a company in town. I just got a headlight bezel from em and it fits perfect.

Check our "User Links" section on the main site. It's under "Links". There should be some parts listed there.

I still want to know if you can get aftermarket headlight bezels.
Sorry Aussies, shipping's too expensive to get it to the US.

Anything close works for me. I just don't like it when it missing pieces. If it looks good from across the street..... it's good. :D

Dustinicus,
Would you make them out of plastic or metal?
I remember from metal shop (high school) we poured cast aluminum.
That was pretty cool. 8)
If they turn out good, you could end up with quite a few customers.

Hey MEPR, how much are those fenders and headlight bezels? My 79 longbed could use new ones badly!! :( Also, does anyone know where I might find a hood? I'd like my truck to look as good as it runs!

They do make a chrome spray paint. How much would you sell them for?
