some of the fender parts are real similar to the std pickup fender parts (patch panels). I think we are stuck with either finding used, or new pickup parts and using what we can to repair ours.

Welcome to the Stovebolt wave

Your 1957 6400 is a one year fender that was used on the 4000 and 6000 Series trucks only. The 1955-56 fenders will not fit as the front axle was moved 2.5" forward for the '57 model year due to the larger size tires hitting the firewall.

Pickup patch panels are not going to fit with the exception of the one for headlight area...the heal, wheel opening and grille area are all different. Fabricate your own patch panels or look for better used.
