The front fenders will also fit, but you will have to watch out. The larger trucks had bigger tires, and the wheel openings are larger on the big trucks. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 305 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 305 | a men it will all fit except for the finders have bigger wheel openings
