Does anyone know where I can get a right rear fender for a 1946 Hudson pick-up that I am in the process of restoring.

    They're pretty dear. If you can't find one, they were made from the car fenders by adding the sheet metal between the fender and the box which you can copy from your other one.

    Uncle Josh, How do you go about making the flange to mount it to the truck bed? How do you go about opening up the wheel opening and rolling the metal under like the original truck fenders are? How do you connect the car fender to the new inner flange? I have the same issue to address on a truck for a friend of mine. I have extra car fenders. I only need to do the driver's side, and I want both sides to look alike.

    My truck came a pair of rear fenders from a car I guess, that have the same wheel openings but do not have the flange to connect to the truck box. Unfortunately, the previous over left them ouside to fill up with water. One fender now is completely scrapped, the other might have savagable sections but also has some serious rust through.



    What year car had the full wheel openings like the trucks?

    The 1941 - however, the wheel opening was a bit larger than used on the passenger cars. When my son restored his '46 pickup, we were fortunate to have a neighbor friend who was a professional metal worker. He reformed the wheel openings of both rear fenders within minutes. Seeing was beleiving, but this guy new what he was doing with automotive sheet metal
