    Hi guys! I'm new here and I was wondering if the 4WD fender mounting points and body line will fit on a 2WD truck for a 1980 pickup with no problem. Any information will help, thanks!

    Welcome. Are you asking about front fenders? I can’t say for that gen, but on my 94 I had to buy new marker lights and wheel liners, otherwise it’s a standard bolt-on.

    Yes, I am in need of a new front fender. There is a 4WD pair for sale on ebay and if the mounts and body lines match, I am already running a wide body look so I would put them on.

    I’m sure they’ll work, might need to modify a reinforcement bracket like the newer trucks, but that’s likely the only difference. There’s a thread here with some info, not a lot though, best I could do.

    They'll fit. I think the main difference is the 4wd has the wider flare. Otherwise it should be identical
