I can't believe that after all these years you can't find a spare tire cover anywhere. They used to be available in abundance from a variety of sources. They should be simple enough to make ,relatively speaking and there seems to be a large number of potential buyers. What's the deal? Were is JC Whitney when you need them?

Many may have been cut down to be used as fenders on highboys. ;)
 
If you mean steel they have gone as Brent says.Although locally the T bucket thing with skinny front wheels has slowed down.Front fenders are not required on a street rod here now,so that may have something to do with it.Plus those fenders are made and sold pretty cheap now.If you mean fabric ones,I really can't say.I don't like them so I gave all mine away.Turned out that $5.each at the swap meet was too much.Years ago a trimmer friend commented,they're selling those things for $100.now,I;m not using shop time to make them to sell for that.
 
My wife sewed up one for me. She did a great job!

Last I knew Snyders had discontinued them.Have they started carrying them again? My friend said he couldn't get them,so he bought a pair from a Chevy vendor,and put Ford emblems over the Chevy logos.

My bad! When you go to the price page, it says Discontinued.
 
If you're familiar with Tebo Barn he had a large selection of them for sale the past few months. Not sure if he still has them available but worth an ask if you're looking.
