Hell man it looks as if he fabbed a fender for the back using a front fender. THe two look very simalir, course I have no idea how that is possible, would take alot of sanding and welding..

you should ask rocketdog. he just did something similar. I don't know if hes got pic on the net yet but it looks awesome. I think you can use like f100 rear quarters off the bed since the body lines are the same makes for an awesome look. lot of cutting welding and body work but rockets ride looks sweet.

I had rear flares like that on my bronco when I bought it. The previous owner cut front flares out of another EB then he cut out the rear to the right size, then he grafted the front fenders of the other EB into the back. So they were all metal.It looked pretty sharp, but they were not wide enough so I put Duffs urethane around. Here is a picture of how they looked before the Duffy flares.<br>

Jim at Wildhorses used to have front fenders on the rear so his rear flares would look so clean. I guess tecnically he's still got the front fenders on the rear, but he's since cut them so he could install a set of Gorilla Warflares that Wildhorses sells. I like the wide openings of the Warflares, but I really liked the clean look he had before cutting them. If I ever build a Bronco for just street use I'd probably do it even though it is a ton of work.
