How much longer is the fender on the little truck vs the big truck?
I guess that would work if you worked with it long enough, I'm not sure how much longer a pickup hood is. A lot of times when you open the hood on a medium duty truck, the air cleaner assembly is tucked up against the firewall, so maybe three or four inches shorter? They shortened the hoods on these trucks to give them a shorter BBC length, and make them a little shorter overall.
