My question is, did GMC use the same size fenders on all their trucks in '39 and '40? If they used larger fenders for the larger trucks, at what size did they start using them?
If it helps, he says his 1 and a 1/4 ton truck has dulies on the back.. anybody know at what size dulies were used?
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

From what I can tell, my 1 ton is basically a 3/4 ton with heavier rear springs and larger rear brakes and 17" wheels.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the rear fenders on my 1 ton are the same as 1/2 and 3/4 ton.
