Me, I would keep & repair the existing fenders, I like the extra tire clearence. While I never seen it, Fred had told me about it a few years ago. Plus there being more than 2 in the state would be quite rare.

Your wheel openings have been cut and rolled for tire clearance. This was unique to those early contract Dodges. essentially the wheel opening was increased to the body line. Note the difference in the distance to the side marker light from the wheel opening. The inner fenderweels were modified...

Width of W400 Identical to the M886, it is about 8 inches longer due to the 1 ton frame. Look at the pic with the two of them, you can see where the back meets the cab is the same. While we are on that, you can see the older ones are a bit narrower than the M886.

I'm not sure what that tag is but I doubt it's the production #, that is if you are refering to the truck in the 1st pic. It's too old and may not be a Mark body, IIRC the owner of the red one (2nd pic)told me his 72 was built by someone else, it has a Braden winch check this thread...

hmmm........ My w400 sits up there and has a factory sway bar.
