Did all of these trucks come with black fenders? Most of the restoration pictures I see have the black fenders. Also what about the headlamp buckets? The pictures I see they are also black, mine look to be red like the cab was. Thanks Scott

No, they didn't all have black fenders, and the headlight buckets were fender colour I believe, whether that was body colour or black.

Black fenders & running boards was standard on all color combinations unless special colors were ordered,

Brewster Green with Black fenders & running boards was the standard color combination on all 41-46's unless specifying when ordering.

Im pretty sure this was the same for Chevy also.

So standard was black, but they could be body colour...

Thanks for the link. Since it doesn't specify, I bet headlights are same colour as fenders.

That's confusing. Wouldn't they always be fender colour?
