sampat Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 i have started in on my B 813 getting things removed to get ready to paint. as i am taking my front fenders i realized the right and the left are completly diffirent. i have been looking through pictures and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what truck has the diffirent fenders does anyone have an explination. i have a set of reproductions i was hoping to use but looks like i may only get to use one. i took a few pics to explain the diffirence.thankssamthis is the left fender it is all one peice it appears to be longer then the right and is the one in question. it seems to fit wellthis is the right two piece fender that i have seen on all the B 80 series Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21868-b-813-fenders-right-vs-left/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Not certain but it's probably to clear the air filter can.

Superdog Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The right one would be shorter to give clearance for the air cleaner,if I'm not mistaken.

fifth wheel Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The early trucks have LH fenders like you have . At somepoint the left was changed to the style like the rightside.FW Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21868-b-813-fenders-right-vs-left/#findComment-92484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Heres the other style air can with the short fender.

41chevy Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Cheaper to just eliminate the back of the fender in the forming process than make different tooling, I'd figure.

jeffbyrne Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I always thought it was early fender,(the top one) and later model fender,(the bottom one). Maybe one fender has been replaced at some time giving the truck odd fenders.
