Default '31 pickup rear fender filler panels

Hello folks...
Okay, I admit I am lost.
I am attempting to figure out where the filler panels get attached to the fenders.
Rear fenders (you knew that) on a '31 pickup truck.
I have nice authentic coupe fenders and reproduction filler panels.
I believe what would really help is perhaps a dimension from the lip of the fender leading edge to where the panel "starts".
Photos?

Thanks guys.

If yours is a late '31, it has narrower fenders and no fill panel. Late 31's have the fuel shut-off on the front side of the firewall, a dropped steering support, not attached to the gas tank, and a longer, wider bed.

Here's a picture from Snyder's that may help.

Early '31. Bob, that illustration is perfect for me. Thanks so much!

Don't forget to add the fender mounting carriage bolts to the filler strip before you rivet them to the bed. They don't fit once it's on, so which would require use of the undersized bolt.
