The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun 1 ton rear fenders

I'm going to pull out the damaged 9ft bed from my truck that has been sitting in the trees and twisted up for many years and take a really close look to see if I can try and salvage it, It looks like I can use one side, worst case I may see if I can have some new bedsides fabricated and just reuse the upright metal braces. From what I can find the 1 ton rear fenders are basically non existent in todays world, I may have to compromise. Do you think the 1/2 ton rear fenders would look too off if I fitted them on the truck, being that the 1 ton front fenders are supposedly only a couple inches wider than the 1/2 tons maybe it would be ok? It would really be a shame if the hold up on my resto was the rear fenders. Mine is a 46 1 ton pickup. Thanks.

Jim Carter lists the 1/2 3/4 and 1 ton as the same fender.

Thanks lumber sawyer, I'll take a look.

I know this is really an older thread, but I just got back on the site after many years. I had no proper rear fenders for my '46 1 ton Express but found an NOS pair a few years ago and drove to Cincinnati to get them. The correct fenders are the same as 1937 panel delivery truck fenders. They have mounting holes in the top and do not have the 90 degree bend that the 1/2 and 3/4 tons use that are mounted to the side of the bed. 1 tons mount to the flat metal extension that protrudes out from the wheel well. Took me many years looking at a bunch of pics of 1 tons till it finally registered that those were missing too. If Jim Carter lists them as the same as 1/2 and 3/4 tons then they are wrong.
