The 1.5 and 2 tons don't have much wider fenders, and only about 1.5" wider axle/track width than the 1 ton.
The 1.5 and 2 ton fenders look pretty poor with 8-19.5 tires in them, the wheel and tire combo looks to small I think.
This truck (not mine) has the 19.5 wheels and tires, it is a COE, but fender openings are similar to the conventional 1.5 and 2 tons.

I have considered all these options before, and for me I decided that narrowing the P30 axle was the best and best looking option, and possibly not much more work than the other ways, but with I think far superior results in look and function of the whole truck.
My 1 ton pickup has a 1955 model 235 and a 4 speed, it had 4.56 gears. Other than the great disc brakes (front and rear) and power steering it was essentially stock, or close to it. It performed well, took me on an 8,000 mile trip around the country in a month, at just over 50 mph. The axles and PS that I put under it are now under my 48 2 ton. I had planned for them to be in a 2 ton from the very beginning, the 1 ton was just a test mule. The 2 ton, has a diesel, a 10 speed, and the P30 axles with 9R22.5 tires, seen here:
