Good luck. I have seen some pics of early dually panels, but not sure if they were factory built, or built by a body supplier, (which was common practice.) I know 1940 standard fenders are only available in 'glass, so doubt you will find new steel fenders at all. If you do, find a expert TIG welder to fab a set for you.

And, welcome to the forum, and please don't use BOLD type!

I saw an early dually panel last weekend at the Stirling flea market. I don't know about these either, but they will be extremely scarce.

I have a 1942 dually panel truck the fenders will work from 1937 to early 1947. Have had a pair of very rough ones I sold but you can find new single wheel ones one Ebay from time to time and have them widened. I have had my truck for 6 years and have never seen another set good or bad any were. Hope this helps if you have any questions call me. 1-262-392-2989

Im not too shure but I think the duelly fenders are different than single wheel fenders dont think you could just widen them.

The narrow fender is the same for the first 25% of the fender. The narrow fenders can be used as repair skins, for the wider fender, if the wider fenders are not too badly damaged.

I am being tolerant with the personal parts-wanted and parts-for-sale in this thread. My hopes are that someone will post a photo of the wider dually fender. If no general interest information gets posted here, I'll eventualy delete personal-sales posts in this thread.

Micheal, I know you said METAL fenders but his is just a thought or me just rambling.

I know that you can get a fiberglass rear fender for a pickup truck that is WIDER than normal so folks can wider tires. Joe Hand has a set on his pickup.
Would...could...these be made to work on yours???

..as I said, just thinking guys.

As Marv said above, the wide rear fenders should be the same from '37-'46.

The bed width was the same on the 1 1/2 ton single rear wheel, & dual rear wheel pickups. Jim Carter owns a 1946 Chevrolet 1 1/2 ton dual rear wheel pickup. It can be seen in the "working trucks" section of his website. Ernest Holmes model 490, 515,& 525 medium duty Wreckers used the wider dual wheel fenders on their wrecker service bodies. They also used narrow single rear wheel fenders on the larger wider service bodies of the Heavy Duty W35, & W45 wrecker service bodies. I've seen the wider fenders used several times on these "W" model wreckers with over half of the fender under the body. Holmes used these fenders up until 1956, when the more modern platform style service body was introduced. Check out my webshots album of "Spankys Antique Wreckers" for examples of both style fenders. link below.

I would like to see some pics of a dual wheeled 37 or 38 panel since I dont think it is listed in any of the 37 info I have,I have seen a 47 to 53 dually panel but nothing earlier.
