I'm wondering if the fenders are fiberglass?

From AK's link No Fear sports wear designed The NF 155 and Roll-a -long up fitters ( witch is no longer in business ) did the mods. Looks like they did other older ford trucks also

Not sure, kind of doubt it. Could be though. Numerous Pre-runner f150 1997-2003 kits that are fiberglass,

But yea, nothing quite like that...that I can see. Back when those trucks were made, same year Chevy/GMC had that shape. Not just Z71, but I believe all of them did. Surprised they shaped it similar to their competitors....that's just strange, not like Ford lol.

My Understanding on the fenders are that both fronts and the body panels for the bed are fiberglass. I saw these last year on this site sometime. A guy listed it and I remembered it.

Okay. I'm having a problem finding my driveshaft length charts. I have it on a PDF somewhere, but tonight I can't find it. I need to either see a chart or if someone remembers the different in length between the 9.75 axle and 8.8. Just trying to get the difference between the 2 shafts. Anyone have the chart in their junk files anywhere?

Yea, that's what BrowningSCrew posted, they were offered in pre-runner kits back then as well. Yup, glass.

I do not. You could try a d-shaft shop on the net. They sell complete set ups, might have the spec differences on site.

I'm having difficulty finding a specific length chart on the interwebs. That is weird. I can find almost anything, but for some reason I'm doing something wrong tonight. I can't even find the correct length in the Spicer/Dana shaft catalogs. I'm not used to running into this much problem finding crap. This one is going to make me start drinking tonight. LOL

I can go ahead and tell you that the 8.8 drive shaft on a reg cab truck is right at 1.5 inches longer than the 9.75 setup. Funny thing is that the 9.75 shaft works just fine with an 8.8 setup. Ran it that way for a long time on my black truck with the 5.4 and never had an issue. Pretty sure the kid who has it is still running it that way.
