You did good then Dave. There is a reason why those aftermaket CertaFit Parts get the the name SortaFit instead.
I'd say $50 for an OEM fender is good price.

I'd also check the glove box for RPO codes, get that gear ratio. Likely to start with a G, and also if its got G80 then its the gov lock locking diff and people who don't know its junk will jump all over that for $100-$150. Being half ton, I am going to guess it to be a 3.42 ratio and could be a 3.73 also. I'd say its gonna be one of the two. GT4 is 3.73 ratio.

The 97 k1500 has the 3.42 rear and 90 C2500 has the 3.73 rear. The 90 C2500 has these 2 trans rpos mm4 and m20.

There's only 2 other trucks matching rpo options list.

hood don't look bad in the pics. Mine looks in worse shape lol.

If his price is high on the fender Dave, how much would you sell one for? I know you had a truck you were parting out.

Good GM metal is worth good money, and honestly $50 would be better, but I could see an original gm going for $75 for sure. New aftermarket are like $90.

Too bad you aint close, with the hood being junk I'd take it off your hands, I want to build myself a cowl hood from a steel one, just need one to cut up and use etc.

lol you would be more then welcome to it hell ide even help you load it lol

damn it i forgot to look at the rpo codes while i was there.

3.42 (GU6) and 3.73 (GT4) were the only two ratios available.

thanks retro wasnt aware of that

Dave your confusing me again. Why are we talking about your 97 and your 90 on this thread?

Your confusing me. Someone said something about checking rears.

They said For ME to check the RPO codes for the ratio, then you start in telling us about what your RPO's for both your trucks are for your Transmission and gears? TMI buddy

Ohhh, you don't have the parts Burb at your house??? It only takes a flashlight to read them. Just look in the G's. And look for the G80 too.
