If the leading edge of the fender isn't indented for the grille to fit into, you have '68 style fenders... '68 Chevy/'68-'72 GMC. For '69-'72 Chevy the fenders were indented to accept the full grille surround.
I don't know what the factory trans was, but it could have been a 3OTT since it is a column shift but the floor shifter is definitely a mod. I'd like to convert it to a column shift.

I'm not sure on the wheel width, but they could be 10" wide.

I might have a lead on some factory 69-72 fenders. We can certainly go aftermarket, but I'd rather find some nice original sheet metal, even if it has a little rust.

I'm torn as to whether to go all out on the bodywork and strip everything or to polish what's left and fix the rust and match the factory paint.
