That's very useful information. The GMC parts manual was much harder to interpret. They use a series of drawings showing front and side of truck and a three letter code to identify the truck. I can see it being useful to a parts counter employee (match picture to truck then order) but for this query it was not helpful.

Reason I was asking about fenders is I can get a set of medium duty ones that only look from pictures to have a larger cutout for tire and a wider lip around the opening. if thats the case and my pickup hood will match it, I think they will fit better with my wider wheel to wheel measurements and going up to a 17 or 18" wheel.

I'd be interested to know the actual difference, say wheel opening width alone or is the wheel well center moved also?
