Did the '32 Ford pickup use the same fenders as the roadster?

Thread title says it all.

Front fenders? Yes, at least on the light duty pickups. Couldn't tell you about the running boards, and the rear fenders are different.

For starters, in 1:1 size, Ford pickups from 1925-1941 used passenger car frames, so the fenders would have to have fit whatever frame was used based on the model year.

While '32 Ford pickups and 1/2 ton panel deliveries were built on the very same chassis as all Deuce passenger cars, the '33-'34 Ford Model 40 chassis was different, so even though the Model B/model 18 pickup of 1932 used the same front fenders as a passenger car, for 1933-34, there would have been differences where the inner edge of the front fender met the frame rails, while the overall shape stayed the same visually.

The rear fenders, however on pickups, from 1925 onward, were different from those used on sedans, coupes and roadsters, due to the shapes of the sides of the various bodies.
