Re: Cab Question

The cabs are all the same size,some of the larger trucks use different styles of rear cab mounting,but can be modified for smaller trucks.I belive the fenders are longer on large trucks also

Re: Cab Question

Any idea if the shorter fenders will fit the cab or not?

Re: Cab Question

My main concern is if the fenders will line up, I can make my own brackets
