The Ford Barn

I picked up a nice pair of 40-41 running boards at a swap and it wasn't until I got home that I noticed they were 4-5" shorter than stock.

Now, somewhere in my brain I remember about using later 40s and early 50s rear fenders on the 40 pickup. If so, in using 40 pup running boards with later fenders, would they need to be cut short about 4-5"?

I want to clean these boards up and sell them and I want to advertise them properly .... Thanks

47 to 54 chevy pu rear fenders 40 ford pickups were popular at one time. But i dont know if you have to cut the boards down. I know a guy who might want them when you are ready to sell them
