ARE the grilles in 42-46 pickups all the same size? I'm not dumb, but I ain't seen a Chevy truck close up for nearly two score years eek
I heard there's different size fenders, but grilles???

as far as i know the grille is the same and the fenders are bigger on the big trucks because of the bigger tires.

The grille, Cab, and hood are all the same on everything.

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.

Larger truck fenders also have a different curve where it meets the running board. A friend found some 3/4 ton 46 fenders, did not match the running board of the half ton.
