Is the GMC truck inner fenders a little bigger then the Chevy truck inner fenders? Or are the Chevy 3/4 a little bigger then the Chevy 1/2 ton.
Thanks

1/2 to 1 ton inner fenders will be the same . 1 1/2 ton and up will be different. GMC will have some different holes due to different grilles and mounting holes. Kind of the same story on the outer fenders also.

The opening for the steering box is a lot bigger on the 1-1/2 ton as the box is way larger. I also found that the panel that the hood latch sets in is different on the 1-1/2 ton but haven't tried the hood on a half ton. I think that the piece at the front of the hood is different on the 1-1/2 ton but the rest of the hood is the same.
