Fender Swap Question

Well guys, I'm looking to switch the fenders and doors on my 56 3800 Panel and have a question.

Would the fenders from a 6400 series Truck work on my 3800 Panel? I know the doors will, but just not sure on the fenders. To me they look like they would, but just wanting to make sure before buying them. So I figured I would ask the experts! Thanks in advance for any advice!

Re: Fender Swap Question

The photos I see show that the wheel opening is lot larger That may not be the only difference though.

Re: Fender Swap Question

6400 series fenders are wider and have a bigger wheel opening for 22.5 tires.

Re: Fender Swap Question

Hood is slightly different too, so you will need it.
