Wheel arch panels.

9mazda5 · 08-07-2011, 06:58 AM

Son just purchased a '95 B3000 and the wheel arches are in need of repar/replace. Are the panels sold for Rangers the correct fit? How difficult is it to install/attach them? I have limited auto body experience. Also, what is easiest way to remove wheel well flares w/o destroying clips?
Thanks

Welcome! I'm thinking you're speaking of the arches over the rear wheels, the bed. I "think" they would be the same as a Ranger. You don't list your location but you might try locating a better bed assembly. That repair, done correctly, would probably be as costly as a replacement bed. If you're in the great rusty north finding a better bed may be a challenge though.
