f100 fiberglass

I checked out auto fabs website again and i see what you mean by the hood now. To bad there parts arent wider. They would definatly work for now but I also plan to widen my truck when I have a slow week at the shop. It might be a possibility to widen the auto fab fenders and bedsides if I give it to my glass guys. I will ask them next time there at my shop. It seems hard to belive with all of the old fords running around noone makes somthing.

I think I remember John talking about molding wider glass for those trucks. This was probably a year ago, so I would call and ask. I bet more than half of his products aren't on his website.

You are correct about the site. John has tons of other stuff.
I called in Dec. and nothing in the works for wider 67-72 stuff.
Im sure he will want at least a couple grand to make moldsfor fronts

That sounds about right. If I remember right he said a couple people (old f100 owners) were thinking about splitting the initial cost. If 3 or 4 people interested in wider fenders went in together the cost wouldn't be too bad.

I'd be in.
Grunion sorry to hijack. looks like you're in Az. Im in San Jose. Kinda tough to do the legwork from far away. Autofabs in Santee.
I think Brian (BHTool) and Greg G..of ROR fame both have bumpside Fords like this.
Anyone else game?

[Grunion]

Let me know the price I would probally be in also.

I don't think the Mc Neil glass fits 67-72 trucks, its for 73-79.
I am keeping my Autofab glass to modify unless I decide on the Boatec F150 body.

That F2000 truck is truely a work of art but it deviates from the original lines for my taste.
No disrespect to its builder!!

The Autofab hood is 2.5 " or so lower in front than a stock hood.
Autofab has a set of fronts for 73-79 that are 4" flare.

I'll try to post pics of my truck.
Its cut to pieces right now.

Your truck looks great.

[RSwenson]

Thanks guys.
It will be nice again soon Pete.
Now that its not a DD, We're making it a little more dirt worthy.
Tired of whatching the Manfroys have all the fun!

[Grunion]

Try Flared-Fenders.com
They have a front set that are wider than stock and a little different.

Tried calling these guys today. I didnt get through so I left a message but no call back anyone know if these guys are still in buisness?
This sure sucks I need some glass wide enough to clear my tires.

[RSwenson]

Grunion if you have stock beams just use the Autofab glass.
My beams are 2.5 wider ea side, stock offset Ford wheels and 12.50 MTRs... 82" total, just barely clears the glass.
Unless you are wider it should be fine.
