I ran across a pair of 1948 Chevy truck rear fenders that are priced right and are better than the pair that I have for my 53 project. I'm assuming that they would be an exact interchange, but I don't know for sure. Can any of you folks tell me?

47-53 1/2 ton rear fenders are identical. 54's are listed as different in the 1929-1954 Parts manual, although I don't know what the difference would be. Interestingly, in the 1929-1957 Parts manual lists 47-55 first series under the same part numbers. The 1953-55 with left side spare tire well are the same, but will apparently bolt to an earlier truck.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

There may be a difference were it meets the running board due to the filler from the running board to the box is different but it does not look like they would be different

It's possible the 1929-1957 parts manual is incorrect. It has happened before. That parts book does show differences in the running board aprons for 54-55.1 pickups because of the difference in the beds.Could be that the 54-55.1 fenders should have been listed differently as well.
