Has anyone put (2-3 inch) wider fenders on their 47-54 truck? I think I am about to go for it. Will have to go with the flared running boards also.

Has anyone who went this direction to drop the front have any problems...
I just put in a brand new latch on the drivers side, and I did grease it up with white grease. Still have the same problem of door not completely going to a closed and latched position. Tonight I go to open the door and I cannot get it open. The latch piece is up in the housing and the tumbler...
