Could 54' front fenders be used on the 47-53 trucks if you were to fill up the holes? Is the only difference between the two just a matter of holes? The reason I'm asking is because I know where a 54 is at that has some decent front fenders and I'd like to put them on my 52'. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There was somebody on here a few days ago with a '47-'53 who was confused as to why one of his fenders had a flat spot with some holes in it.. it turned out a previous owner had stuck a '54 fender on it.

So i'd say yea.. if you don't mind doing a little body work to patch the holes, it outta work.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

I think in the front top corner were the grill bolts up to the fender on the 54 is round were as 47-53 is square so if your using a chevy grill it won't bolt in properly.

Plus, trying to hammer out the flat area would be a pain!
