I have a damaged right front fender so bought another one at a swap meet last year. Cleaned it up (blasted) epoxy primered it and finished the underside, then installed it on the 1948 Chev truck. Oops, it does not match the left side fender. The area under the headlight is a totally different shape than the left side fender. I thought all 48-54 fenders would be the same, except the GMC which had a parking light under the headlight.
The left fender is gently curved from the grill, under the headlight all way back to wheel cutout. The right fender is almost flat under the headlight, from grill to corner, with sharp corner.
Are fenders different for some years? The old fender is repairable but gonna be lots of work. I cant spend $600 for a new one.
input needed.
