Are you talking about Ford fenders or Chevy? Chevy is the only one I'm aware of that would have fenders that would span that interval of years and be the same.

There off a 1973 1987 truck.
The rear fenders cannot be off a 1973/79 F350, because there is no such thing.

All 1953/79 F350's with DRW's were either sold as a Cab & Chassis, or w/a factory installed Flat or Stake Bed.

Ford did not offer a DRW Styleside pickup until 1980, F350's only.

Ford never offered a Flareside Pickup with DRW.
