Desparate - Need Help the worst sort of way (sorry not Ford related)
I know its not Ford related (and IF Ryan deletes it I understand OR Sorry to step on toes and post somewhat out of place) BUT this is how desperate I have become.... I need this piece "desperately" SO I can get my best friend Jeep out of my shop (We've been looking for a year now) and I NEED to make room for my own Flathead project's!!!! I need a left rear fender off of a Willy's pick up OR better yet a 48-51 Jeepster. I really only need the part circle OFF of the left rear fender BUT IF I could find one from a Jeepster, the more I have to work with the better for me!!!! ANY HELP would be "next level" appreciated. MAYBE you big truck guys (Like Newc, GB Sisson) know of one in your area??? PLEASE help me get this albatross from around me neck (IE out of my shop)!!!!
DID I mention we are desperate (we've even had an ad on the Willys Tech board) with NO luck and my friend here of late seem content on being content. I am grasping at straws here...!!!! BUT just maybe someone here might be able to help?? PM me If you know of something |

This might be worth a try. There is a Willy’s- Jeep parts house and salvage in Cazadero Ca. You can look them up online. Been there myself but do not remember the name. Big place with lots of donors. Good luck

Looks like something a good body man should be able to make, especially if he is good on an English wheel.

You can see in the second photo how much contour was lost based on my patch panel I have made. There is a lot of subtle details and angles lost in this area...that's why I prefer to have good "original" piece to work off of!!!! |

Here is the patch panel I made a little better fitted, as you can see on both sides the lost shape.

Re: Desparate - Need Help the worst sort of way (sorry not Ford related)
Rockfla: google kaiserwillys.com and search the catalog; google willysforsale.com (there are parts vehicles available); if still no joy, call Mike at kaiserwillys ~ he may have a used fender available. Finally, other sources: Jerry Gardener, 903.530.2172 or Harry at Mid~West Willys, 765.362.2247. Good luck!

Re: Desparate - Need Help the worst sort of way (sorry not Ford related)
I know a place where there are a couple of jeep trucks like that but they are pretty sunk into the damp earth. If I get out that way I will look, but don't hold your breath for decent tin in my part of the country. East of the Cascade Mountain Range is a totally different story.

Re: Desparate - Need Help the worst sort of way (sorry not Ford related)
Why do you need a fender to get
a vehicle out of your shop ? Won’t it roll or drive without the fender ? Worry about the fender when the vehicle is out of your shop …,, Jim |
