If you got to here http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n17/MrRoo_2006/ you will see some of my models including some adaptions of the Tamiya Chev kit in 'sub albums on the Right Hand Side along with a few oddball CMP models. You will see how the guards are cut out there.

WOW, Thanks a lot for many pics to study!
I scratchbuilt chevy and Timken rear axles, too, for 1/43 projects.

Here, part of my 1/43 military diecast collection, including the chevy building:

I studied the available pictures of the LRDG trucks, but they not seem to have too big wheel openings, as seen on some other similar chevy trucks. The LRDG fenders look modified: shorter and wider, like seen at the first picture attached - the side steps shape indicates the oversized fenders, to compare to civil models, although this is not exactly LRDG, but at the second picture, the similar truck is described as 1533x2… is this correct description? Very interested, the total width of these fenders.
