Munch, around here there are quite a few '41-46 chevy trucks. The scrap drive a few years back thinned it a bit, but still see them sitting in shelterbelt trees on farms. The main thing around here that gets bent up is the grilles. Several aftermarket companies are reproducing them for under $800.  Straight rear fenders are tough to find here. Most are beat, some have big rear bumpers welded to them, but fiberglass is availible. Shane got tired of looking and bought a pair from Speedway Motors and was happy with them.

I'll see if he is home this after noon when it warms up and get some picks. He is in the middle of the project but had it out on a test drive several weeks ago. He usually doesn't finish out interior or exterior much, then sells them.
Please let me know if you come across any good donors.

I'll sure ask him if any are close.

I checked the cars.oodle.com site, looks like they have a selection from cheap to expensive.

Can't seem to get there from here on my post, but works fine right to pickups on my phone.

Sorry Munch, he sold it already. He just started on another one, S-10 chassis also on this one.   
The upper cowl where the hood fits is approx 47" wide. It tappers in as is goes down and measures 40" wide where the top of the fenders mount.

A couple quick pics.  Last pic, rear fender is bobbed off at bumper brace. This is where a lot have been welded with extra rap around bumper.

I'm sold, I definitely like those trucks.  Patrick at Code 504 is putting together the few changes I need to make to my cab mounts to work with the 41 to 46 trucks.  Keep you eyes open for a cab and thanks...
