1 tons are not wider on the 47-55 trucks. You have to go to 1 1/2 tons to get them wider. I've swapped them from 1 tons to the 1/2 tons and vice versa with no issues. 1 1/2 tons are 4" wider but are also 4" longer with a different hood because they go up higher on the cab as well. Did BEEP ever get his 'Burb sorted out with those fenders he spliced?
