How much difference is there in the front fenders between a 1954 1-ton and a 1/2 ton pickup? I think the wheel cutouts are larger on the 1-ton but I'm not sure how much.

1/2, 3/4, and 1 ton fenders are the same.

Are you sure it's a true 1 ton (3800)? 1/2, 3/4, and 1 tons were the same, but when you get into the larger commercial trucks the fenders are different.

It's a 3800 (1 ton dually). I'm sure.

If it's a Dually is it using 18" Budd style wheels, 10 lugs? Then the nose may be like the 1 1/2 ton 4100 series style.
