I am in the process of rescuing it before the county turns it into scrap metal. Just have to get through some red tape even as a county employee.
My question is if the fender width is the same on these bigger trucks as the pickups? If not, how much wider is it? What about frame width? Same or different as PU's?
I tried a search on here for the answer before asking, but didn't find an answer. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,399 Former Workshop Owner | | Former Workshop Owner Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,399 | The fenders are bigger to accomodate the larger tires. The frame is bigger and heavier also. I am not sure if the frame rails are the same distance apart. If I get a chance tomorrow, I will measure them.
