Re: Need a little help on 54 rear fenders
I'd bet that back in 1954 you could walk on a Chevy dealer's lot and measure a row of new 3100 trucks and not get an exact measurement twice.
I'd go with mongocanfly's 11 inches and allow clearance space. From my experience a 255 tire which usually is 10.04 inches in section width barely leaves enough room for wiggle space and your suspension had best be tight or the tires will rub the bed on hard turns. There isn't much left of the white letters that I had the tire dude turn to the inside on mine.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
