I know the AD trucks have different front ends, but are Art Deco trucks the same? I scanned many, many pages from the archives and found no scoop there. Sorry in advance for my ignorance.

Have seen lots of half tons with 1 ton fenders, you'll know one when you see one! It's easier to get forgiveness than permission! 1946 1/2-Ton Chevy 1953 Chevy 3/4-ton Factory Stakebed

The reason I asked was that I was overlaying drawings from the Chevrolet service manual of the 1/2 ton through 1-1/2 ton and the fenders are exactly the same. Even the radius of the wheelwells.
