I have 58 apache fleetside that I've been tinkering on for awhile. The front fenders are pretty much shot and the rear tail gate is a mess.

I posted a "parts wanted" ad on craigslist. There's a guy who has a 58 apache 3/4 ton, with a tailgate.

He also has a 58 and a 59, both two ton that hes dismantling.

Would a 58 "2 Ton" front fender work with my 1/2 ton apache? AND would the tailgate from the 3/4 ton pick-up work on my 1/2 ton?

Please help!

The 2-ton fender won't work. The tailgate will.

Hy REAL RAT FINK, the tailgate should be fine, but there are two different ones for 58-59, one for fleetside box, and one for stepside, just make sure yuo're talking about the same thing. The fenders will bolt on, but they are for a wider front axle and 20" wheels, in my opinion they would look silly on a pickup, hope that helps.
