If the 5500 is nice enough to have real nice Fenders on it, it pretty much sounds like it could be a Restorable truck. It's too far for me, but I would love to have it, lol.
But if it is a parts truck and you take the Fenders off of it, I would at least try to trade for what you need. The Wider Fenders are harder to find and worth more money, but if you are willing to trade, I'm sure someone out there would be willing to go to way out of their way to find what you need. That way you would both get what y'all need and you wouldn't have to do any cutting and welding to boot.
