The 1-1/2 ton front fenders have a larger wheel opening than the 1/2 ton. However, it isn't that easy to spot when they are laying on the ground at a meet.
Another way to tell the difference, which is better, is that the 1-1/2 ton fenders are not notched for the bumper brace to bolt to the frame and the 1/2 ton fenders are notched for the bumpers braces. That is probably the best way to tell the difference immediately on sight, but I have seen some 1-1/2 ton fenders notched and used on the pickups.

Joe is right. I had a set of those big fenders and wanted to put them on my 1/2 ton but the openings don't look right on the 1/2 ton. I ended up buying me some fiberglass and they have held up quite well the past 10 yrs.
Good luck.... and how about some pics when you can link us to some. | | |
