Oh boy, have I opened a can of worms?
Thank you for your review, but no, I am not satisfied that resolution is clear.

For NON-SIDEMOUNTED cars, the parts book says 4 each front fender, all same length. 362743. I have penciled in my book 22 3/4". Maybe about 23" give or take measurement method, but I must insist that they should be all the same?

For SIDEMOUNTED cars, parts book states 2 LONG, 1 MEDIUM, 1 SHORT per fender, of course. Your suggestion that the LONG strips are the same as the NON-Sidemounted I also debate as the part number is different? 18 1/2 and 19 1/4 may be correct for the Short and Medium , as I have many that I have marked as 18 5/8, and a couple I have marked as 19 1/4.

The REAR fender trims I have noted in my parts book as 20 3/4, which I specifically recall reviewing with Jim Hollingsworth when we put together a set for a friend, so now I must ask others to weigh in. And could you check your actual measurements of 18 1/2 and 18 3/4 please?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your reply, but I do not think this is resolved yet.

And I have 19 7/8 noted for 110 fronts, yet Johnn Ulrich has a pair currently on ebait claiming 18 5/8 for 110 front?
