Try going to Bushwhackers website and put in both trucks and see what the part# are.

KyleZ71 now this is just my option here but if your planning on keeping your truck for a long time them why just cover up a issue because sooner or later the flares will no longer hide the rust and by that time the rust could have moved over onto other panels an round the fenders and just raise the cost of fixing it. I would have to say if the rest of the truck is in good shape with no rust then I would say send around a $150.00 per a side for new GM fenders or for around $75.00 you can get CAPA aftermarket ones and then just paint them yourself or find a good Body shop to do it. Now if your not thinking long term here or the rest of the truck is starting to show rust then buy all means go with the fender flare and you may get another 3 years more or less out of it depending on where you live and what kind of winters you have. I would even still consider the flare even with replacing the fender then you will have better protection for the paint plus it would change the trucks looks
Again this is just my option it your truck man make it what you want

why not just have a reputable shop repair the fender then you wont have to blend the door to match the paint and i work in a body shop so believe me when i say that aftermarket fenders are ****ty, they are half the $ but take twice the time to make fit and never really line up like a gm fender

Well after my dad scraped my drivers side door, put two small dents in it and the estimates are 900 and 1000, im ok with cracking the bubble and repainting it. I did it to the gas cap. I'll sand it down, put some eastwood rust encapsulator on it, put some blue touch up and a coat of clear. Works pretty well at the gas cap. As for the bushwackers the price was $50, I called the guy already sold. They were maroon which I was gonna paint black. Here the guy who bought them had black gm flares so I bought all four for $50.

Will do, well when I get the truck back. The fuel line was rusty and when I was changing the fuel filter I could'nt get it lose. I took it to a local garage where the mechanic cracked the fuel line. He's gonna try to make a new one, but if he can't GM only sells the whole line ($200), not parts.

Looks good,
I'm looking for a set of fender flares, but d*mn their pricey. Anyone know a good place to pick them up under $400 ( black )?

you can get knock off sets for less than 400, but if you want quality flares, like bushwacker, you'll be paying 500+, and I recommend it, the cheap sets break easy and don't look as good
