Are the front fenders on 46 & 47 ford pickups, Tonners, & bigger same size?
If not, how does one tell the difference?

Thanks!

3/4 tons (42 only) and tonners,1 1/2 tonners had the bigger front fender openings. The physical size of the fender seems the same. Hard thing to measure with the radiused corners, but a pretty big difference. I have a bunch of each here..
