Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | As far as I know, just the park light hole.
Get a few more answers/opinions before calling that a fact though..

As Grigg describes, except the 1954/55 GMC and Chevrolet fenders had greater differences due to a change in the Chevrolet grill and parking lamps.
| | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 9 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 9 | OK just was able to put the 2 types of fenders next to each other and the GMC and Chev fenders seem to be different at the front between the headlight and the grill/ hood opening . the Chev has a more pronounced point and seems to angle out forward more , maybe because of the shape of the hood? Anyone else run into this before or am I just the lucky one with 2 different fenders. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | What years are the fenders you're looking at?
If you have enough AD fenders to make this comparison you are the lucky one.

Do these have that?

It makes sense that there is a difference in the area you describe. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 9 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 9 | First answer is no indentations on either fenders.If you place them side by side the Chev fender is longer on the hood edge also the angle from the headlight opening to the hood side edge is greater to accommadate that dimension.That was the first thing I noticed placing the fenders together | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | How do the wheel openings compare?

I know for sure the GMC came off a 1/2 t suburban. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | This one has gone too long without pictures...please  | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | I was wondering if the Chevy fenders came off a big truck. I have some early Chevy and GMC fenders out back. Maybe over the holiday I'll get a chance to compare them. I don't beleive there is a difference, but I'm not certain.
