you'll only use a sliver of the fender panel but the fender brace will be the same
with some creative hammering you could introduce the curve if you need to
your viking uses the same 31-38 cab and thus the back portion of the fend should fit too

I understand buy the lower fender piece (outer skin) and hammer and stretch
it to the shape
I don't have those skills... I've tried it doesn't come easy

the magic is were the inner fender skin that runs up the edge of inside the fender & connect to the lower corner of cab bracket that inner piece is gone
either have to fab it a find a good used fender to butcher

the front fender lower inner brace is available for the pick ups for about $30. the cabs are the same, so the profile would be the same where the fender and the cab meet. maybe you could make one of those brackets work on the back side of your fender so you could support the fender to the cab mount area. then fab up or buy a lower rear fender patch for a pick up and use what you need to fit your fatty fenders.
