hmmm, i'll give a go at this.... i'm no expert... but lets see....
1. i believe that the fenders on a longstep are the same as the fenders on a shortstep... the difference is that the step portion is actually longer..... bolts *should* line up (about as easily and nicely as any other body part on these trucks line up )... 2. 1967 has a unique rear fender because it has no side marker lights..... other years *should* bolt up in place of a 1967 fender if you desire the side marker lights, or if you want a better selection.... again --- it *should* like up (about as easily and nicely as any other body part on these trucks line up ).... 3. i dont know about repair panels, but i'll leave that question to some of the vendors (who read these posts regularly)..... if they have panels for sale, i'm sure they will let you know.... i hope i answered all these questions correctly.... someone correct me quick if i am wrong! ciao! jewels.

Jewels is correct, the fenders are the same. I don't know of any repair panels for the fenders.

You can get new fenders for about 350 each. That's about it as far as fixing them. You can also get the short step but no the long step. I'm in the process of "rebuilding" a 67 long bed myself.
