Could you tell me which one to use? (the 3/4 or 1 ton?) ....if I am thinking correctly about what you mean?
Also, what would be a good place to look for those fenders?
Thanks,
Jason

No, big bolt, 2T or larger. The Fenders are the same length, the width is 3" wider, however the wheel opening is a bit bigger as well. Most people are looking for the 1/2T - 1T front clips, so you can get complete front clips for near free. Here is a link of my 1/2T with a 2T front clip

I needed a place to store the extra clip when I stored the truck since I could not bring down to Florida yet as the re-conditioned sheet metal was being packed in the wood crate I put in where the bed once was. Here are more threads on the subject:
