Fender/bed bed panel radius

I have a 68 flareside i bought for parts i needed for my 66. I am parting out the rest.

I am wondering if the fender arch radius is the same as the fleetside bed arch. The fenders are not good enough for use as fenders, but would be great to use as patches for the bed.

ask because i have a 77, and the 73-79s work this way.

Thanks

No, it is not as compared with the 1970 Body Builder's Book. The flareside bed is the same 53-56 series bed used to 79 only with minor changes. I believe the fenders are the same to 79.

RichS2659,

Thanks for the response. The images are helpful.

What i meant to ask, and maybe i was not clear, is- are the radius of the front fenders of a 67-72 the same as the radius of a fleetside bed?

Thanks
