Does anyone know how wide the rear fender is on a 1946 chevy 1/2 ton truck is. I am trying to figure out how wide rim I can run or what wheel offset I need. With my axal wheel combo I need the fender to be at least 10" wide.

You are looking at approx. 11 1/2" from bed side to inner fender edge.

Is a restoration ever finished?

Thanks, that should be perfect. If my measurements are correct ,my wheel will be inside fenders between 1-1/2" to 2". With the wheels I have,and gives me room to play with the offset in the future.
