58 Chevy bus

[Martinbus]

I am a newbie here. Somebody hit my bus front fender a few years ago, and drove away. Body was in great shape before that. Now I want to fix it up. It is smashed up in the front where the headlights sit, so I want to replace it. Is this part the same size as the pick up truck fenders? My bus is not so large, a Viking model. Thank you for any help.

Someone here will probably be able to answer your question.

Welcome!
No, the fenders are not the same as the pickups. The Viking has a bigger wheel opening to accommodate 20 inch wheels. I have a 58 Viking that my Dad bought new.

Thank you for the good information, now on to the next question.....does anyone know where to acquire a replacement?

59 is also the same. Good luck!!

Can I purchase a right front fender from your Viking?

 

[64ss409]

Sorry, no.

 

[Martinbus]

Yup, kinda figured that.....but seriously, another question. My bus is a Viking 40, would that be the same fender as the Viking 50 and 60?

Where do you park it?

It was at my warehouse, now it is at the paint shop. Trying to figure out colors.....

Yes, I stupidly paid a deadbeat mechanic to start my bus project....another low life, did nothing. Big talker, but too lazy to work. Had to tow if off and will start again in the spring, with pics.

Allways thought it would be cool to do an ol bus
