Need some 53-56 fender measurements Are 500's and 350's the same?

Are 1/2 ton,1 ton and larger trucks all different size wheel opening?The 100's are for sure small I realize.Can you guys give me some measurements for openings in 1 ton and 1/2 ton.I am trying to figure out which fenders I have to use and whether or not I can center my cab and fenders using the 500 fenders I have if I end up using 1 ton fenders or are they the same as the 500's?.So are the center to front and back of fender the same within the all wheel wells opening?
Thanks in advance

I don't have any measurements but I can tell you according to the Ford chassis parts catalog, the opening size has more to do with oem tire size than series. F-100-350 with 16" tires had one fender, F-250-600 with 17" or 20" tires has a different fender. So the answer to your original question of does F350's use the same fender as F-500's, the answer is, 'it depends'...

Well now that's interesting. I always thought the F250 through F600 all had the same fenders. Nothing is ever simple is it...
