International Rear Fenders

Frequently Asked Questions About International Truck Rear Fenders

Will these rear fenders fit my specific International truck model and year?

Our International rear fenders are designed to fit most International truck models from 1987 to present, including ProStar, LoneStar, 9900i, 9200i, and 9400i series. However, fitment can vary based on your truck's configuration, wheelbase, and whether you have single or dual rear wheels. We recommend checking your truck's OEM and model specifications before ordering, or contact our support team with your truck details for fitment verification.

What's the difference between stainless steel and painted rear fenders, and which should I choose?

Stainless steel fenders offer superior corrosion resistance and maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance, making them ideal for trucks operating in harsh weather conditions or road salt areas. Painted fenders are more budget-friendly and can be color-matched to your truck but require periodic touch-ups and may show wear faster. Choose stainless if you want long-term durability and minimal upkeep; choose painted if you need a specific color match or have budget constraints.

How difficult is the installation, and what tools or modifications are required?

Most International rear fender installations can be completed in 2-4 hours per side with basic hand tools including wrenches, sockets, and a drill. The fenders typically use existing mounting points, though some models may require drilling 2-3 additional holes. Common challenges include aligning brackets on older trucks or working around aftermarket modifications. Professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable with drilling or have complex dual-wheel setups.

Are these fenders the full wrap-around style or just the quarter fenders?

We carry both full wrap-around fenders that extend from the cab to behind the wheels, and quarter fenders that cover just the wheel area. Full wrap fenders provide maximum protection and a cleaner appearance but cost more and are harder to install. Quarter fenders are easier to install and replace but offer less coverage. Check the product description carefully as dimensions and coverage vary significantly between styles.

How thick is the material, and will these fenders hold up to heavy-duty use?

Our International rear fenders are manufactured from 16-gauge to 14-gauge steel or 430-grade stainless steel, depending on the model. This thickness provides excellent durability for commercial use while remaining lightweight enough to not affect fuel economy. The fenders include reinforced mounting brackets and rolled edges for added strength. With proper installation and maintenance, these fenders typically last 5-10 years in regular commercial service.
