There may also be some narrow 3/4 ton in between sizes.

Are you talking narrow in front full width for the rear duallys? Sorry I haven't heard about this before. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | These all refer only to front fenders, sorry for the confusion. The full width fronts I have seen only on school buses when actually on trucks, heard of others, not sure what truck they came on.
