    I have been trying to bring back a 55 chevy 2nd series. I have a 57 I'am using for parts. The driver side fender on the 55 was in pretty bad shape so I used the fender off the 57. Is it me or is there some slight diffences in the way the fenders go on??

    The parking light is different and there is an inch long flat spot where the side of the grill fits but it can be used with a little massaging.

    thank you both for the help, and the flat spot is what I was wondering about. I also found on closer inspection that there is a extra bolt hole on the inside front of the 57 fender where it mounts to the radiator support Well I guess I will have to go with the 55 fender even though I have done a crap load of work on the 57 fender, welding and grinding and such. But I guess it was some good practice doing all the patching. After getting all the rust off the 55 fender it wasn't all that bad a shape.
