Frequently Asked Questions About International S2200-S2600 Front Fenders & Acc.

Will these fenders fit my specific International S2200 or S2600 model year?

Our International S2200-S2600 fenders are designed to fit models from 2003 to 2017. However, there are slight variations between early models (2003-2007) and later models (2008-2017) due to headlight mounting changes. Always check the product description for specific year ranges, and if you're unsure, contact us with your VIN number. We can verify exact fitment to ensure you get the right fender for your truck.

What's the difference between aftermarket and OEM fenders, and which should I choose?

OEM fenders are made by the original manufacturer with exact specifications but cost significantly more. Our aftermarket fenders are manufactured to OEM specifications using similar gauge steel (typically 18-20 gauge) and provide excellent fit and durability at about 40-60% less cost. Most customers find aftermarket fenders meet their needs perfectly unless they're doing a show-quality restoration. All our fenders come with proper mounting holes and brackets pre-installed.

How difficult is the installation, and what tools will I need?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours per fender for someone with basic mechanical skills. You'll need standard hand tools including socket sets (10mm-19mm), screwdrivers, and possibly a drill for any custom mounting. The main challenges involve removing old rusted bolts and aligning the new fender properly. We recommend having a helper to hold the fender in place during mounting. Most fenders come with installation hardware, but you may need to reuse some original brackets.

Do these fenders come painted or primed, and what prep work is needed?

Most fenders ship with a black e-coat primer that provides rust protection during shipping and storage. This primer is not a finish coat and will require sanding, proper primer application, and painting to match your truck. Some customers choose to run the black primer temporarily, but for long-term durability and appearance, professional painting is recommended. We also offer pre-painted options for common colors on select models.

What about fender brackets, liners, and mounting hardware - are these included?

Fenders typically include basic mounting brackets welded in place, but inner fender liners, mud flaps, and specialty brackets are usually sold separately. Original mounting bolts can often be reused if they're in good condition. We recommend inspecting your existing fender brackets and supports before ordering, as these may need replacement if damaged. Check each product listing for what's specifically included, as this varies by manufacturer.
