Wheel was what I was referring to but I also see what you mean about the changing years.

Don't know if these pics will help but on mine I trimmed 4.5"s all around.
That translates into a total of 9"s wider front/back but only 4.5"s higher.
Doing it that way, it mimics the original shape, granted without the lip but the shape stayed exactly the same.

This amount of clearance barely clears my 42's.

Not many are running 42's or larger on these old trucks and a fender that works for me, isn't going to look 'right' for those on 33's, guess you'll be making different sizes?
