assuming your RPU ia a 30 or 31, the 31 fenders off a sedan will not fit. You wil need fenders off a 30 or 31 RPU, PU, Roadster or Coupe

The fronts will fit,as long as your pickup is also a 30-31.The splash aprons are different between the 30-31,but if used as a whole they will fit just fine.The rears are different.The difference is night and day on the rears.

You should have added "if the '31 has a wide bed". If the '31 has the narrow bed the fenders are the same as coupe, roadster.

So I am good up to the end of the splash aprons with the 31 body?
Keith True mentioned the splash aprons will work if used as a whole. What does that mean?

Keith means if you have the '31 front fender and its long apron or the '30 front fender with its short apron that makes either whole. FWIW the '30 front fender has a short apron "tip" that's spot welded into the fender and therefore uses a separate short running board apron. The '31 doesn't have that "tip" so therefore the longer apron nests in that void.
