I've been looking at lots of these trucks and trying to decide what color to paint my 41 when I noticed some trucks have the fender extensions painted the same color as the fender, some have them the same as the body, which is correct. Dave

The fender extensions and the piece between the upper and lower grill should be body color.

I've seen it both ways, I like it the way you are talking about, just glad that's original. Dave

Monre is correct. Body color is the correct way to paint them. Black fenders were a no cost option.

Yes the above is correct and I am painfully aware of this fact as mine is painted incorrectly. dang

However, black fenders and running boards were actually the 'standard' and body color fenders were the option according to this.

Is there anything in between the extension and the fender. I just looked at your pictures, yours is one that made me ask this question. Dave

'Anything' as in what? A paint break line? No, the black fender paint extends all the way up to the hood and front of the hood side. If you mean like welting, there is not.
