    These are Dodge flares, but I have heard they can be made to work on Chevy's. KC confirmed that this can be done. I think Bvrwally has them on this van too???

    Yes Chris... mine has 74 Dodge Front flares all around on mine! We used them to pop a mold of them...then modified them by adding @ 6" on the "Leading" edge and made all four from that set of molds. Total cost was $25 back in 1975. Sadly, the guy who made the mold, cut it small to make a set for Triumph TR3 as it had the same radius!! I no longer have access to the molds! Sad

    I'm going to (maybe) add these flares to my Van and have bought 2 sets. I was told you put them on backwards. When holding them up to the wheel wells it looks like they'll go on with very little trouble.

    No not yet. Really just getting started.

    Been working on my sons `72 G20, it should be painted before the end of the month.

    I'll see what LF knows about the flares, thanks

    I have a '66 Chevy that came with a J&J gullwing door (I sold the door) and inside the van was a rear driver side flare I am assuming was also made by J&J. I don't have a passenger side. The flare fits the early wheelwell lip like a glove with no gaps. Anybody recognize it and is it possible to confirm it as being a J&J creation? Thanks.
