Can someone point me in the direction of some fiberglas body panels for 99+ Chevy and GMC pick-ups? Anybody install some on their trucks? I've tried LMC, Summit, Jegs... all with no luck other than a damn hood.

I have a future project in the planning but need to cut some weight due to the addition of some steel hardware.

Also, which body parts on a street truck are not allowed to be fiberglass to meet NHRA rules if any?

 

Jordan: the only fiberglass parts that I've been able to find are:

Silverado fenders:

Silverado hoods:

Might check out VIS Racing (they have carbon fiber/fiberglass parts) and the Extreme Dimensions place. Sorry I don't have more...

 

might also want to check out this place...they don't list anything for our trucks, but maybe they will start if we have enough interest?

if there was only a 4inch cowl for our trucks.....2inch look good, but comeon, its a truck...

 

I got one of their hoods for my el camino. not the best hood for shure.
you could see through it in some spots when i got it.

 

never found any either and i have been looking i have a friend that is going to make me a front bumper out of fiberglass.

 

You have to be careful with some fiberglass parts too. Not all of them are lighter than steel, especially if it's a "bolt on" affair. The real lightweight stuff is the what you can see through. It's the price you pay for weight.

Check out acid dipping and see if that's something that would work for you.

 

thats who i was going to suggest but it doesnt look like they have anything....

 

Thanks for the input guys! I'll check into those places when I'm off this gov't LAN line.

vanilla, not sure if acid dipping is going to help if all the panels are solid to start with? Is there a method I don't know about here? Also, would it be cost effective to include re-painting, and the S&H back and forth if not local?

 

fiberwerx makes fiberglass fenders they mostly do baja desert trucks you might be able to swing a crack deal and get them to make a stock fiberglass boly on fender. or do what i did a year ago and make your own fiberglass fenders
