Justin,

according to the Parts List the rear fender sheetmetal is the same 1951-53.

HTH,

Thanks for the reply... What I am trying to figure out is if a coupe 1/4 or hearse 1/4 will work? I havent had any luck finding that info

From 1950 on up thru 76, Fleetwood 75s and commercial chassis both used the same quarter panels, which were coupe panels. Coachbuilders cut them down to fit their bodies, so they may not appear to be the same in some cases, but coupe quarter panels were supplied with the series 86 chassis.  As to the Fleetwood 75s, notice that they used the short deck design of the coupes, with the shorter fender skirts.  The reason for his was the fact that the limousines were cobbled from coupe components for the most part, with a few new pieces such as rear doors and a roof added.
