I'm looking at an auction site for some donor vehicles that have better front end sheet metal and doors than I have on my truck. I know the doors should fit ok, but I am wondering about the two outer front fenders. Should the fenders from the vehicles listed below fit my truck? They look visually the same.
My Truck
-1956 Chevy 6100 - VIN - 6A56F
Donor Trucks
-1957 Chevy 6400 - VIN V6B56K - I assume from the vin this is 1956 not a 1957 as listed on the site.
-1956 Chevy 4400 - VIN P255K - I assume this is actually a 1955 2nd series not a 1956 as listed on the site.
-1956 Chevy 6400 - VIN 6B57K - I assume this is actually a 1957 not a 1956 as listed on the site
Your front fenders are the same as the 1955-2 fenders except for the emblem holes (the '55 has 3 holes and the '56 has 4 holes) and can be found on the 4000 and 6000 Series trucks.
The 1957 4000 and 6000 Series truck fenders are a one year only fender as the front axle was moved 2.5" forward to help eliminate tire rub on the cab during a turn, so be careful when looking at fenders when they are laying on the ground. The bottom of the wheel opening on the 55/56 fender is about 39" wide and the 57 is about 41" wide.
