Trucks: Going Fenderless (opinions?)

I'm collecting part for a 1938 Ford fenderless pick up hot rod.
If I was rich I would be finding a 32 5window body but I am not rich.

Reading post on the board for two years and attending traditional events has also given me guidance.
As for many of these over choped, over channeled cars pawned off as traditional cars, They better do some more home work - I'm 58 and in my youth in the midwest there were no cars like that period.

 

I know...I'm hoping to assemble my '37 Chevy cab into something one day. But i've seen alot of mutants...its all about proportions and aesthetics.
