No the suburban/panel fenders are a different profile and mount differently. Fiberglass Reproductions only on the panel fenders. Place an ad in the swap meet section, I think someone has fenders for these.

How many hours do you figure that would take?

I believe they use modified truck fenders on the Campbell wood Suburbans and ice cream trucks, but they will stick out too far (in my opinion) for use on a panel or suburban.

You could modify pickup fenders but it's not worth the time and effort it would take. As was said, try to find a set of panel or suburban fenders or buy the glass ones.

Were those "woody" vehicles actually converted Suburbans?
