Fender flares for 87-96 f150?

I'm looking at getting 20018-11 fender flares for my truck(front and back) but they say they only fit87-91 and I have a 1995, but the chrome molding is the same for both trucks it can fit on either or so are the wheel well openings different between the 87-91 and 92-96

Well well trim is NOT the same and neither are the flares

92-97 have different shaped front fenders than 87-91

What's the difference between the wheel wells on the 87-91 and the 92-96 cause the wheel wells look the exact same, the only thing I can tell the difference of is the fender shape for the headlights and the hood

Right up by the headlight.

But why believe me or bushwhacker.
I am sure if they could get by with making ONE set of flares to cover TWO trucks, they would

Well I'm curious for the reason, I have found pics of many 92-96 ford trucks with the pocket style cut out fender flare, but they don't sell them they only have the cut out with no pockets. So where would you find them. And if bushwacker could offer 1 fender flare for two trucks big deal they offer a lot of different style ones for the Same truck so it's not like it would make or break them, when they sell thats all they want.

Do you honestly think they would make 2 different flares if the fenders were the same?

I think I will just go to the junk yard and measure the wheel well opening and se if they are identical or close to it and see how far from the 95s headlight to the oppening and the back of the wheel well opening to the door. And yes I do think that they made different fender flares one cut out fender flare with out pockets for 92-96 and cut out fender flares with pockets for 87-91. And dude I'm look for help on this subject to find out what the differnce is if any between the wheel well opening not that I should just believe you. Like I said I'm trying to find the difference between the whee well opening if any

They make 3 styles of flares for the 92-97. CUT out Front Part # 20021-11, Rear Part # 20022-11,/ Extend-a-fender20904-11,/ and street# 20501-02

But only 2 for the 87-91. Extend-a-fender 20903-01 and Cut Out Front Part # 20017-11, Rear Part # 20018-11

if you noticed EVERY part # is different. Even for the cut outs on the bed. The reason being is the 87-91 has a different look on the front fender so they made the back to match the front.(these came out in 87) The 92-97 has its own look, so they made back ones to match the front.(these came out in 92)

They would NOT make a a different flare if the 87-91 would work on the 92-97 trucks

I was aware of the part number, I just didn't know what the difference between them was. So thank you for clarifying thats what I basically wanted to know in the first place of what the difference between them really is.
