Fender Flares and rocker panels

I'm going to check out a 91 CTD Dually in the next few days. The Fender flare is cracked and the rocker panel has some rust. How easy is it too find fender flares and rocker panel repair pieces? Thanks, Marvin

Next to impossible to find fender flares. They are made out of unobtainium. Although a recent production run of them has them available new from your dealer for ~$225 each side.

Rockerpanels are pretty easy to find and should be had at your local bodyshop supplier (napa most likely) The fender flares aren't steel are they?

NO. The only ones available are for converting a single wheel rear truck into a dually. The don't fit near at all and don't look good on a true dually. OEM fender flares are a must buy item if you ever see one for sale anywhere. Even if you don't have a dually. It took me 6 months to find one for my dually.
Underpsi, the fenders are fiberglass.

IF you want you can take the original flairs an put new fibeglass on the back and front. Then just sand them down nice and smooth and paint. A lot of places should sel NOS steele patch pannels. Weld on sand smooth and paint again. Good luck and if you don't want the truck I might have to take a look
