Until this year, all I had was 54s. Yep, splash apron is different because of the front shape.

You've got to make recesses in the fenders for the marker lights AND the fenders aren't the same length at the front edge. Inner fenders say they are different but I don't see it, maybe in the mounting holes at the front. We put '51 inners in Court's truck. Hood emblem mounting bosses are in different locations.

If you find extra parts you don't need, I might be up for them!! Buy all the grills because you always find bent bars. We used three to make our first one! Get the fenders, too!
