On the civvy trucks the one tons and smaller had the fenders with the small wheel openings. The ton and a half trucks had either the small or large openings. The two tons and larger had the large openings. The military trucks likely all used the large openings to clear the military tires. The military wheels were offset more than the civvy ones so gave a wider track.
The 40 and 41 trucks had the narrower grille with the headlights mounted beside the radiator. The 42 and newer trucks had the headlights mounted on top of the fenders.
All the trucks from half ton on up used the same frame dimensions from under the cab to the front bumper. So did the C8 and C15 two wheel drives. The heavier trucks used thicker material in the frame and some had doubling plates on the outside of the frame rails.
