1962 M109 engine side panels

[wadefreedomvehicles]

So I bought some engine side panels the other day, and they didn't fit on my M109. It has different fenders than my other deuces, but I thought that the panels would still fit. I am confused by this, do i need to get different panels? I am now selling the ones i just bought if anyone is interested. Any help on why they won't fit, would be much appreciated.

Post some pictures of the truck ,maybe it started as a gasser .

It is a gasser. It has been and currently is. Does that have something to do with it?

Yep , inner fenders are different also. If you do some searching there should be a thread or 2 on the differences.

ok I will probably end of making my own side panels.

Put a wanted ad up. I'm sure someone with gasser trap doors will hook you up sooner or later.

Huh
Gasser front sheet metal is different from diesel ones!
I always learn something new on this site.

The grill should be an inch shorter on the Gasser making the hood close just a wee bit more if I recall correctly.
