The cab itself will be the same. fenders will be different. Not sure about the hood sides.

Guys, on 41-47, there are at least 4 different sizes of fenders I have seen, narrow half ton, narrow 1 ton, narrow 1.5 ton etc. w/ large wheel cutout, FULL WIDTH(rare) 1.5 etc. ton w/ large wheel cutout. There may also be some narrow 3/4 ton in between sizes.

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.
