02 and 03 WBH fender help!!

S

SD av builder

GUEST
Purchased a 02 av, light rollover. Buying parts. Need to know if anyone can tell me the difference between an 02 and 03 WBH fender other than a different part number and a $300.00 price difference. No body in SD has yet been able to answer this question for me. Not even our local Chevy Dealer. If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it. Either respond to thread or e-mail me at polarisedge@wat.midco.net. Thanks in advance.
 
THey are different......take a look at a WBH they have rounded fenderwells.........plus the claqdding one will have the holes for the cladding clips etc.....

WELCOME to the club too.....may I also suggest looking at the pics on the sites in the ZONE section there are some threads and then maybe look at members home pages....

i think he is asking the difference between '02 and '03 WBH. not the difference from "cladded" and "un-cladded".
i did not realize there was a difference. i will make a calll for you.
 
just got off the phone with my buddy that works at the dealership. first thing he asked me was, "which side?". told him to check both sides. from what his computer is telling him they will both fit your AV. he looked up both model years as well.
what i will do is ride by the dealership and get a print out. i like to be absolutely sure about hese things. i get a better understanding when i see things in black and white. i will let you now something in the next hour or so.
 
I'm not sure if we understand your question. There should not be an 02 WBH at all, WBH didn't come into play until 03. Standard 02 AV (not WBH) as said before will have cladding clip holes and look different in the wheel well area than an (03)WBH. I think you'll find a difference too in the front portion of the fender as the headlight configuration on a WBH and non-WBH are different. You should be able to look at a pic of a WBH & non-WBH and tell the difference (you could see chevy.com for that). In case it hasn't been mentioned, the WBH is without body hardware (no plastic cladding).

Here's a WBH:

Here's a Standard AV:

In my humble opinion, it won't look right to put WBH fenders on an 02 cladded AV...even if they fit.
 
HE states he bought an 02 avy so it is cladded.....

He then asks about wbh fender......
 
Sorry, being a newbie i do have some things to learn. To clarify I do have an 02 with cladding. The Mitchell collision book indicates a difference in price between 02 fenders and 03 with or without cladding. Sorry about the confusion, my fault. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
02 and 03 cladded should be the same........and will work for your truck

as shown above in the pics the WBh is just plain different..
