Yes, the fender does fit the small indentation on the side bed piece. I was thinking about making the fender holes elongated and slide it forward but it would not match the indentation. The running boards are aftermarket but are sold by Classic Parts so I would, at least for now, think they are the correct length. I'll compare the them to OEM soon.
**Thanks for your input
