Is there a difference between big bolt buckets and halfton buckets. The headlight buckets I have don't follow the fender line. About 1/2 gap on the inside edge, maybe 1/8 on the outside. The fenders are fiberglass from Superior, I think my buckets are from a big bolt, will I need to find halfton buckets.

I’d point blame at fibreglass reproductions and not the oem buckets. However, wait for clarification on whether the big bolts’ buckets are indeed different than little bolts’ buckets.

As I understand the listing in the 1929-1948 Master Parts Catalog shows there wasn’t any difference, except for cab over trucks and passenger cars.
