It has a 137'' wheel base, and I think it had a (9')bed on it.Does any one know what the total lenght of the bed sides are. Thanks for any help. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 152 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 152 | Yes, I have a 49 chev. 1-ton and I used inner and outer fenders off of a 51 GMC. They fit and bolted right up.
49 chevy 1-ton. It is a work in progress but it's getting close. 49 1 Ton Pics | | | | | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 40 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 40 | I have 54 chev 1 ton with a replaced front fender. My original paint fender seems to be almost twice as thick of metal. Ive always wondwered your same question. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 381 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 381 | I put the entire nose (fenders, inner fenders, hood, grille, latch pan, lower splash pan etc etc ) from a '53 1/2 on to my '48 1 ton.
Everything bolts up. The only difference is the radiator core supports are different between the 1/2 ton and 1 ton. Use your 1 ton radiator core support. They bolt to the cross member differently. | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,723 24601 | | 24601 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,723 | And also be advised that as long as you stay with '54 parts, you shouldn't have any issue. Can someone confirm that the '54 and '55 1st fenders are a little different (from the '53 and earlier Advance Design) to accommodate the different grille?

The '54 and '55 1st have indentations where the parking/signal lights mount and also because the grills are differant. Other than that I believe they are the same.
