I think Bob said somewhere they were different. If so, are they so different they won't work at all?
Thanks, Dane Sharp
I'm still looking for a drivers side fender.

Not the same according to my book. The only thing that fits a '59 Firesweep is '59 Firesweep.

Good Luck
Steve

Thanks you Steve.
They sure look alike, but since Firesweeps sit on a Dodge frame, and the rest on Chrysler I guess there is something different?

Replying to my own question, in case anyone needs this info.
The difference between Firesweeps and all other Desoto front fenders is the distance between the door and wheel opening. its about 4 inches longer on Fireflite, Adventurer, and Firedomes.
