Just a thought?

They looked the same as mine, and I had no reason to question they were different. But, after numerous hours of working on them to get them straight I decided to mock up the bed, fenders, tailgate, etc. This is when I discovered to my amazement that these fenders were not the same as mine. They sure look it, but the bolt pattern is different, and I would say the fender is somewhat longer from front to rear (maybe 2 or 3 inches is all), and the wheel opening is probably larger. I suspect these fenders are for the 8 ft bed, and maybe from an F-2/F-3. They look like my fenders, but closer examination side-by-side revealed they are different. So, now I am back to working on the fenders that were on it when I bought it. Maybe this info will help someone and keep them from making the same mistake.

Read my idea on your other post.
