Rear fender replacement

I backed up into a tree and cracked up the driverside fender on my dually. Anyone have a fender for sale or any really good suggestions to replace this eyesore?

Thanks

Check around your area for a work truck outfitter.
You might find a whole dually bed (taken off to be replaced by a utility bed, or flatbed) for less than the dealer wants for one fender.

What the dealer wants for a fender is absolutely outrageous. My dad borrowed my truck and also backed into a tree.....he tapped it very light but it did crush the rear corner of the fender. Fortunately, he had the good sense to pick up the broken pieces.....we took the truck to the local body shop and they were able to glass in the broken parts without any trouble. Total cost was roughly $400 for the repair done right and the colour match was perfect.....the fender was $1300 at the dealer and I believe the body shop wanted roughly $250 to prep, paint and R&R the new fender. These prices are in CDN dollars but you get the idea....$1550 compared to $400.
