There is a large depressed rectangle for the parking light and I would think that the grill or surround has to mate with this area. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 452 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 452 | Also, the '54/'55.1 grille is rounded at the top corners, with a corresponding roundedness in the fender, while the '47-'53 has a square corner. Here\'s a pic of a '47-'53 fender. Compare that to this pic of a '54/'55.1 fender.

I know that the cabs are interchangeable.
