Passenger Inner Fender for 80s Era Full-size

Hi all, I'm on the hunt for a passenger-side inner fender for my '82 Custom Cruiser (#1 in the diagram here).


Unfortunately mine has all but rusted through where the hood support bolts on (see pics below).


The original GM part number 22523072 was used on pretty much every full-size variant from that decade, but I haven't had much luck tracking one down yet. gmpartsgiant.com lists one, but I'm not sure I can trust them based on some of the reviews and testimonials I've seen around. If anyone has one in good condition or can help point me in the right direction, please give me a shout. Thanks!

Don't believe '80 - '90 Caprice used that type of setup. It may be Olds or BOP specific. There was (past tense) an '82 Olds full size in one of the U Pull Its I go to, but it's gone now.

Ahh, yeah it looks like I was mistaken. I did a little more digging, and only a few Buicks and Olds use this part number. Thanks for the heads-up!

I've got a pair of 1980s Custom Cruiser front fenders (inner and outer). I suspect shipping to MN will be excessive, however, as I'm in Northern VA. I suspect you know that the outer fenders are unique to the wagons, right? In any case, if you can't find one closer, let me know.

Thanks joe. I'm definitely interested. Looking into a junkyard listing in IL right now, but if that doesn't pan out I'll send you a message.

Have you checked with Rohner's in Willmar or French Lake auto? There is an '82 LeSabre at the U Pull in Rosemount.

The wagons fenders are NOT the same as the sedan fenders, though the inner fenders may be the same. The 1980-1990 B-body wagons all used the Chevrolet sheet metal from the firewall back, and the Buick and Olds fenders are unique to the wagons since they have to mate the Buick/Olds header panel with the Chevy doors.

No luck there yet. I don't think the LeSabre parts cross over unfortunately. I may have a need for one of the doors though, so I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Buick and Olds sedan doors definitely will not work on a B-body wagon. Only Caprice and Pontiac sedan doors fit the wagons.

That Buford has a completely different hood hinge than any of my 1980s Oldsmobiles, including the wagons.
