An acquaintance of mine has found two pairs of L & R front fenders with sparewheel wells but has no idea what they are from. Seller told him Chrysler but his search on google has no results. Part numbers in white paint are 375160 and 375159. I would think the two holes in the front of the fenders are not for a headlight bracket as they look to small but for a parking light . Going by the size of the sparewheel well it looks like the wheels were mounted up high . Any ideas ?
Try going on (aaca.org) Antique Car Club of America. Its all free. Register then post on the Forum with good pics.You don't have a pic looking at them from the outside.
post a few more pictures here, looking at them from a "front 3/4 view"....so we can see the whole fender, as it would appear on a car. The part numbers could be a few different makes. Chrysler corp numbers were well into the 4s by 1935, the first year that my Hollanders book covers. GM used numbers very similar to these, so that's where I'd start looking. You can do a lot just using google images, trying various cars from the era. My guess is 1928-32 edit: or perhaps up to 1934, from the shape near the grill
34-35 truck...after looking in the chevy parts book. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/parts/1929_41/41cp204.html
I have never seen a welled fender for the drivers side , or the square opening near the bottom , half tons and 1 tons 3 tons all share the same fender could be for the big trucks to extend the tire brackets to the frame ??
Was researching this a little more and it seems chevrolet mounted the spare tire on the passenger fender and GMC mounted the spare tire on the drivers fender , never seen a 34 35 36 truck with spares on both sides .
Maybe in Europe they put spare dimples on both sides because they might be used in England or the continent?
He has sold one pair and seeing he is a Ford guy he will probably sell or trade the other two as well.
