The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts I May Build A 1-Ton instead of Big Bolt???

Thank you for that.Yes I am aware that the cabs are the same for pickups and Big Bolts.With my question,you can disregard the matter of chassis as I will be using a 2006 chassis and doing a ton of fabrication.I think in my situation the stock 2006 tires at 31 inch diameter will look ridiculous,thus my desire to go with AD pickup size fenders.Being able to use readily available wheels and tires will save me thousand$.I plan to drive this truck 400 miles a week as a work vehicle.

My dillemna is that my big bolt nose is pretty mint.I want to know what from my nose and grille I can still use if I choose to go with 3/4 ton
fenders.The truck is a 1953 GMC.
