'38-'41 and '42-'47 Rear PU Fender Difference

[woodburnranch]

I know '38-'41 and '42-'47 rear pickup fenders have different part nos. but I have also heard they will interchange with some work. I know '38-'41s have the gas filler hole on the left and spare tire indent on the right and '42-'47 don't, judging from pictures I've seen. Is this the only difference? Do they both have the center peak? Are the mounting holes the same? Will '42-'47 fenders mount up to '38-'41 running boards and box? Thanks for the help. Jim

I don't know if the bolts/holes line up or not, but I have seen 42-47
rear fenders on 40-41 pickups, but the ends of the running boards need to be widened at the mounting point. This can be done, but requires some metal working skills. Good luck

Bolt holes to the bed side are the same. Easiest way to put the 42 to 47 on a 38 to 41 is change the bottom couple inches were it bolts to the running board. Either with an original donor fender or buy the repair panel
