The wrecker bed was homemade by my grandfather. The rear fenders are not available that I know of. I know the bed plate is 1/2" steel and the back rear panel is 3/16" steel. I don't have the measurements for the wheel wells at this moment. If you have the resources and the equipment you could build one yourself or have it built for that old school look.
The mirrors I haven't installed yet. They are factory GM mirrors that were available from 1967 to 1972 and later years. They are DG5 Senior West Coast Mirrors. It took me a long while to find them and they were on ebay.
The grill inserts and headlight bezels are steel and not the polished aluminum type. I believe if you change your grill to the 1968 you will have to change your core support also. The headlight mounts are different. 1967 and 1968 are the same. 1969 to 1972 are the same. If you look on my post on page 2 with the post date of 11-20-2016 with time of 4:55 The first picture #1 is with the correct 68 grill and core 67-68 support. The next picture down #2 it is missing the headlight bezels. They wouldn't fit. The core support that I put in it was for a 69-72. If you look at the headlights they are not centered in the hole. It puts the headlight very high in that area. The bezels would not fit. That's why I had to buy a reproduction core support. The wrong one 69-72 was an original. I was upset to say the least, but I didn't know after it was all assembled. Going down to picture #5 shows a closer look at the wrong 69-72 core support installed. I hope some of this helps you.

That certainly helped me and I am grateful for the details. That is a really nice truck!
