Arrow 42-48 Ford rear fenders

Are 42-48 Ford rear fenders dimensionally the same for all body styles so as to interchange?

Hi, I know that 42-48 rear fenders for Woodies are quite different in that they bolt to the wooden wheel arches in the rear. The top edge is a little broader and flat in this location on the fender. I'm not sure about the fender length but I'd guess the Woodies might be a bit longer. Toby

All passenger cars use the same fender. The woodie fenders only fit a woodie. They bolt up different , are a little longer and have a different curve. The gas door for a woodie fender is not the same as the gas door on a passenger fender.

All rears are not the same from year to year. There are differnent opening sizes in the rear of the fender where the bumper braces come out. Those are also different from year to year

sedan delivery rears look like woodie rear fenders but are not as "fat" when viewed from above..

sportsman uses sedan delivery stampings however with the addition of a gas door on the driver side rear fender..

to my knowledge all other body styles are the same
