'53 Ford Fenders interchangeable on a '54?

[Django]

Anyone know?

I know the headlight bezels are different. How about the fenders? Can I put a '53 fender on a '54 and have everything bolt up and look right? (this is not a custom, it's stock)

[Fastsporty]

I think they will bolt up but the 54' has more of a crest to them on top. are you going to replace both sides on your dads 54'?

[Django]

No, only the left side.

Django, I am attaching a photo of my wife's bro-in-law's 54 for reference.
The front clip will exchange on 52-53-54.
I hope this photo will show the detail you are looking for.

Right, the clip will exchange, but will a '53 Fender work on a '54 clip? I have found a '53 fender that is nearby, but that's just it. It's a '53 not a '54.

This is another view.

It looks pretty similar. I just hate to buy the damn thing and it not be right. A trim hole here or there that is different is no big deal. Here's a '53 for comparision.

I do know!
No, the 52 or the 53 fenders are not the same as the 54...

[Crestliner]

RPW must be right. Hollander does not list them as interchanging.

[Django]

Problem solved then. Thanks fellas!

This shows the difference: 54 at top, 53 in middle and 52 below.
