dds92780 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Does anyone know where i can look to find any pictures of trucks that has this setup? I have looked at rbauction for old trucks that sold and on here and well you get the picture. I have seen a ton of rd trucks but they all have half fenders in diamond plate, i kinda wanted to ditch that setup for a full black plastic fender. Can anyone help me or give your opinion?

Lmackattack Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 If your painting them just go steel and paint/ under coat them. I would expect stainless full fenders with brackets to be about 1000.00My stainless half fenders with brackets were about 500 had to drill and bolt on my self...no kit for them Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30686-black-full-fenders-for-r-model/#findComment-176045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I posted a pic of a truck I sold in the "Chicago R-model" thread that has full fenders that are steel and painted black. I think you were quoted a lil high. There is a guy up this way that does fenders and I think that full aluminum ones would cost you $1000-$1250? installed. If you don't want to keep them shiny have them painted. -Brad Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30686-black-full-fenders-for-r-model/#findComment-176047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Here you go. The first kind is in Mack accessories online catalog but not shure they are still avalible. The last one I met on many US truck chrome sites, brackets are for sale also although separately and not cheap. The price of a full set was about 1400-2000 when I looked over. Just make a brain storm around on-line chrome shops and you'll find what you want. I did but not ready for money yet. Don't need them at the moment though.

smorse54 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I was at Beam Mack in Rochester NY today. I saw a NYSDOT Granite tractor there that was equipped with smooth ,black plastic full fenders. I found a tag that said Lifetime.Didn't have my camera and didn't want to use my cellphone and risk an upside down shot.I will get a pic shortly though,and post it.Fenders looked much better than the Minimizers that we are using.

2stacksuperdog Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Always liked the diamond plate fenders, makes a Mack look even more tougher Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30686-black-full-fenders-for-r-model/#findComment-176277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dds92780 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 how about keeping the diamond plate half fenders and getting a mack mudflap, im not sure how long it should be with a chrome or stainless steel weight on the bottom. That way it would prevent dirt and dust from kicking up on the fuel and hydro tanks. Any got any pics of this and an estimate on what it would take and what size? Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

Maddog13407 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Berube's has a full lineup of fenders., you can even get those black plastic garbage truck fenders in chrome now but they arent cheap. just bought two lifetime full single axle stainless ones for my b model to replace the ones that met an early life with a low trailer and got them for 300 a pair. i made my own mounting brackets tho cause the brackets must be made out of gold, most of them cost more than the fender. always likes the look of Merritt fenders to.

jakebrake86 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Our local Mack dealer sells Minimizer plastic fenders. I'm not sure how much $ they run, but they don't look bad and I hear they're pretty tough.

dds92780 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 So I took your advice and had a little fun with the spray can. I painted my half fenders black. I used a flat black because when I tried gloss black it just didn't look right. My fenders have numerous cracks and are a little bent so I didn't care to have them shiny anymore. Ill post pics later Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

Mike Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm glad this subject came up. I toyed with asking for quite sometime but did not. But since some of you have, I like the looks of a tandem setup with any of the black or chrome, stainless fenders, full or half. For some unknown reason, I cannot get used to seeing a full fender setup on a single axle, whether it is chrome, black, painted or whatever, and single axle is what I have. I have the quarter fenders but wished they made a half fender.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30686-black-full-fenders-for-r-model/#findComment-192384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHfred Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I just checked on the price of the Minimizer MIN2260 for my single axle MH and the fenders are $300 (red) and the plastic bracket is "almost $300". I will NOT be getting any of those any time soon.

jackb61sx Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Put the heavier weight stainless steel corrigated ones on and run the flap down from below the mounting post. We put the lighter weight stainless on our B-Model only and they look nice on it, we had to make up all the brackets to fit it.
