When I tore down the front clip I realized the front fenders are '54 cause they are indented where the turnsignals on the '54 grill go.
I want to put the '51 grill on to match the rest of the truck, and cause I like it better.
Is the only difference between the '54 and '51 fenders the indentation for the turn signals (that I can fill w/bondo, pound flat or cut/weld/grind/sand)??? Or, do I need to start looking for a set of 47-53 fenders?
Also, does anyone have the lower splash panel for the grill, the one that looks like the upper radiator cover and goes under the grill?
Thanks!

Somebody correct me if I'am wrong
38 original
48 panel
59 stepside
46 in the back forty
