Tford Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Are the 98 and 88 fenders the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tford Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 So a rear that is described as a 98 fender wouldn’t fit for a patch repair of a wheel opening on an 88? Does any publication list body part numbers for NOS parts....As in part number 556413? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It depends on what you're trying to do, I don't know if everything's contoured the same and will be an exact fit. I CAN tell you that a 98 rear wheelwell opening is longer than the 76 & 88 series. The 98 fender skirts are totally different as well. Period chassis and body publications are available from literature sellers that list NOS part numbers and applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tford Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Perfect! I REALLY appreciate this info. Just bought a one family owned 88 sedanette and one rear wheel arch is got some rust thru at the curve and down the front, and have seen some 98’s advertised. I have the fender skirts, so the profile is there for shrinker/stretcher work and patch panel hammering....and then there’s junkyards!! But the rest of the car is a great clean project....
